Our Ugandan friends are here!

They told us at the office yesterday that the Ugandans would be arriving tonight.  Knowing that was enough to throw us into a fit of excitement, and then we found out that we were to meet them at the airport!!!  Obviously, we have been consumed with anxious anticipation all day.  We made signs for our arriving teammates and mobbed through the airport 60 people deep.  We lined up by teams and waited.  And waited.  When we saw the 16 of them we were freaking out.  Literally jumping, screaming, some crying, everyone hugging.  Tony and Richard, our advocate and mentor, were equally excited, although they may have been a bit overwhelmed by our zeal.  I cannot wait to fill you in on how next week unfolds.  I am sure there will be many stories to be shared!
