Wednesday at 3pm I received a call from Adventures In Missions, congratulating me on my acceptance to the Passport mission trip to Uganda in the upcoming fall!!!:) Beyond excited! I have two weeks to pray, make my final decision and put in my deposit of $100. One thing is for sure, if I do go this trip is definitely going to stretch me in my faith. The trip costs $5,000 and I currently have... $0.00. BUT I do know that if this is what God wants for me He will provide. Although I feel very secure that this is where God wants me to go, I'm going to keep praying and ask for His will to be shown. I did a little research about Uganda culture and here are a few interesting facts I found..
Ugandan Culture
-Tend to communicate indirectly more than directly.
-Humor plays a big role in communicating but don't use sarcasm.
-Always use right hand when shaking hands.
-Personal space tends to be very minimal in Uganda. People often talk very close to each other and less than an arm’s length of space is common.
-In most situations, Ugandans are not overly concerned with being punctual. People are expected to arrive within the first hour or two after the appointed time.
-Women's ankles and shoulders are thought of to be seductive.
If God gives me the privilege of allowing me to experience this amazing country's culture I will surely be able to call myself blessed. With every fact I learn about Ugandans the more I fall in love with these beautiful people. One thing is for sure, whether or not I go to Uganda I can definitely count on my life being an adventure. I cannot wait!
PRAYERS:
-For God's will to be shown as to whether or not this is where He wants me to be.
-$100.00 for the initial deposit.
-Faith!
