It is Monday morning and I am at the Entebbe Airport waiting for my flight to Heathrow to board. I have made many friends in Uganda and they will all be going with me in my heart.
Let me take a moment to share my weekend with you. On Saturday we had a lovely reunion with friends from Holt International when they arrived in Uganda. Shortly afterward, Jolly took me to the women's prison. I teased that she was going to leave me there, but we were going to a going away party for a friend of her's. The next day (yesterday), we drove to Jinja for Halima's graduation party. It was a wonderful party that was mixed Muslim and Christian; quite colorful. It was the perfect way to say good-bye to Uganda.
Family, fellow Oregonians and SNW, I will be home before you know it. I hope to be in the office on Friday, depending upon jetlag. Matt/Mike, please let Mom know I'll call her as soon as I arrive. Jack, Brian and Peter, I can't wait to see you all.

Katie,
It's Monday evening, and you are well on your way home from your remarkable journey. I loved reading Oscar's farewell comments to you. So good to know that he and others have seen into your heart. I feel very lucky that I get to call you sister.
Am looking forward to seeing you this summer and to hearing your reflections about this trip.
Take care. Go Well. Stay Well.
Susan
