Oh boy. We have a newcomer on the scene. He's American, bless his dear little heart. He's an older chap, and has lived in Entebbe for a few years. And, well, he just doesn't quite seem to get the fact that things are not, well, exactly normal around here yet!
I'm sure he's a wonderful guy - I think he's just experiencing some culture shock about living in this place. Because really, there is no place like it on earth, and I guess if you come here with expectations that things will work here like they do even in other parts of Africa, you will be in for a surprise. People deal with their culture shock in different ways, and I think he's just dealing with it in trying to compare everything to what it's like back in Entebbe.
This also makes me wonder why Jackie and I don't get so excited about things here. I guess we're just more laid back than other people?! Maybe I didn't have real high expectations about what things would be like?! Or maybe God is just being especially gracious to me and allowing me to actually enjoy some of the crazy situations that we find ourselves in here!
