I haven't posted anything new for a while, and that is mostly because I have been trying to work through some important personal decisions. I didn't mean to cut myself off from anyone but have been trying to discuss things that have been on my heart with just a few people.

I decided I needed to come back to the US, to Tennessee a bit early. After praying considerably, talking with mentors and eMi staff, and writing out all my thoughts and feelings, I decided to come home two months early. It was a tough decision but one in which I have an increasing amount of peace.

Before leaving, I was able to say goodbye to my closest Ugandan friends and all my eMi workmates. I even got to go fishing with Denis and Mathias! It was the first time I ever ate a fish that I caught myself. That was a great time to enjoy together with them before leaving.

I left Tuesday morning, May 18th, and arrived in London at 4pm. I had a one night layover and decided to venture into the city and see what I could. I walked around the city for a few hours and saw some of the famous places. London is a beautiful place! I slept in the hostel and left early Wednesday morning to catch my flight to Chicago, on which I was able to lie down across three seats and sleep like a baby while listening to country music.
