Texting

Sorry for the delay…
Here are some recent text messages that are currently saved on my phone. I will type the text message in italics exactly as it was written and sent. Then I will offer my own interpretation and explanation of what I think it actually means. Feel free to offer your own interpretation!

How is your Valentine’s Day? Miss you a lot. Alice M.
This was sent by a Kenyan friend that lives in Mundri, Sudan. She often texts me and calls me to see how I am doing. (No, in case you are wondering she is not married, but she is 20 years older than me!).

MY DEAR BROTHER SJW HOW R U THERE I SO U WELL AND I PRAYER FOR U EVERDAY IAM U B ABJA
My dear brother, Scott Joseph Will. How are you there in Uganda? I am sure you are doing well. I pray for you every day. I am your brother, Alex Boya Jackson Augustino.
This is from a great friend of mine in Sudan. (See previous posts to learn more about him and his family) He sends me several messages every week, and I always love hearing from him. He often calls me his brother, or older brother. He almost always writes my name as SJW or he refers to me as Joseph, and he usually signs his name as ABJA.

Hi, Scott Joseph Will. We are all missing you so much, as your friends and brothers. How is life in Uganda? Sorry, I heard that you had thieves break into your house. I had just been doing my bicycle tricks early this morning. Thank you! Long time without seeing you.
This if from my young friend, Noah M. in Sudan. He is a great young man that has really encouraged me a lot during my stay in Mundri. I sent him a text message the previous day greeting him, telling him I missed him, and saying that I missed watching him do his early morning tricks on his bicycle (He often does these crazy tricks while standing on his bicycle, usually early in the morning, in an effort to wake himself up and get ready for the new day!). I am still not sure how he knew thieves broke into my house? I had posted a short message on Facebook, but I never mentioned it to anyone in Sudan??? Wow, post something on Facebook and pretty soon the entire world knows about it!

HAI DEAR?HAU IS THE GOING? MS U A LOT
Hello, Scott. How are you doing there in Uganda? I miss you a lot.
I am still not sure who sent this message! I don’t recognize the phone number and he did not sign his name. The area code is from Sudan, so I am guessing it is from some friend in Mundri, but I have yet to call the number and find out whom!

MY B SJW HOW R U THERE I THING U WELL AND HERE WE R ALL OK AND THAINKS IAM A B J A
Hello, my brother Scott Joseph Will. How are you there in Uganda. I think you are probably well. We are all ok here in Mundri. Thank you! I am your brother Alex Boya Jackson Augustino.
As mentioned above, my friend Alex has been very faithful about sending me text messages. He always uses capital letters and he likes to abbreviate my name and his name. It’s funny, but somehow how his text messages remind me so much of how he actually speaks in real life. When I was in Sudan, Alex often asked me to help him write better in English. He would write some type of letter, and then he would ask me to proof read it with him. Alex would love to go back to school and finish his secondary education (high school), but because of finances and life circumstances, he is unlikely to ever finish.

I thank u for the appretiation of the simple love we have had with u. I further pitty u upon the loss u inccured.feel atease God will refund them to u.
I thank you for the appreciation you have of my family and for taking the time to love us well by coming to visit and stay with us. I feel sorry for you in regards to the thieves that broke into your house while you were visiting with us. Please, do not be anxious. God will help you to get back the things you loss.
I recently went to visit a friend in Uganda, about an hour hike away near the base of the mountains. I spent the night with his family and had a wonderful time singing, dancing, and eating. When I came home the next day, I found that my house had been broken into. Visiting someone in his home is often seen as a sign of friendship and love, so I have tried whenever possible to visit people where they stay.

I hope you are ok, Scott. Greetings to your team mates in Bundibugyo. More prayers are need from you, as I struggle trying to find a job. But in God I trust! Goodbye, Lamech.
This is from my dear friend Lamech. He is a Ugandan man, and is one my closest friends in the world. I recently spent a full week visiting him and his family, trying to encourage him as he recently lost his job and is struggling to support his wife and five children.
