The moment we ALL waited for.... GOTCHA time! (Evening of Day 1 Uganda June 17th)

After arriving at our new little home that we would be living in for several weeks we started carrying in all of our junk...all 8 bags worth. I kept having to tell myself...you packed for the whole summer Amanda, and 3 bags are for others. Yet, I still felt like a spoiled American watching bag after bag being carried in.

Joy, George, and Christie were helping us around the house. We were told Moses would be fixing dinner for all of us! And then.... George started calling out "Here they come."

The next moments were a blur for me. From there, we ate dinner together and played before it was time for bed....

Here is the video of the GOTCHA moments.... http://youtu.be/-aa5igAoeeg
