Bardege is the best!

Got a brief note to let us know he had made it to his new (last) area! I love how he always finds the good in everything, even in the most humble circumstances. 💕

Hey! 

Very brief update on Gulu: So I am not actually in Gulu! I am in a smaller village-ish town called Bardege. It is only a 10 minute drive from Gulu but I can easily say this is my most village area. I teach in mud and grass huts! The area is AMAZING!!! The people here are so friendly. The language is hilarious and awesome. It sounds like Chinese. But they also speak great English and have the same accent as South Sudanese people. It is HOT! The sun is penetrating here and I can feel it already.. haha. The food is meh and the options to buy are few. We have a little market to buy veggies and things but all of the luxuries I am used to for the last year of my mission are definitely not here. Things like soda variety, good soap, dish and clothes washing, cleanish water, restaurants and things like that. Here it is just huts and huts and like one little supermarket... haha! I cannot WAIT for you guys to visit here. You two will love it ! Already I think I like it more than any area I have been in. It is the best!

I will give a full update on Monday but I gotta run. Thanks Mom and Dad! Love you!

Love,
