Here I am, back in Uganda. After several flights, delays, little sleep, and several movies watched on the planes, I am back in Africa. Despite feeling extremely tired and worn from jet-lag, I am happy to be back.
I applied for my visa yesterday morning at the South Sudan embassy in Kampala, and because of recent changes I was told I would not receive my visa before my flight to Mundri, South Sudan on Tuesday, April 1. After much pleading on my part, the workers at the embassy eventually agreed to try to have my visa ready by 3 pm Monday. Let us hope and pray!
In honor of being back in Africa, I wanted to post some text messages I've received over the past four months. I've received many (100s!), so I will post starting with some of the ones I received since being back in Africa over the past 36 hours, and then a sample of some of the ones I first received after leaving Africa in November, 2013. I'll post some of the other months of messages in a future posting.
Enjoy the deciphering process! They are typed exactly as they were written.
