Greetings! Sorry about the delay in
communicating. I am in Mbarara, Uganda (actually Kakoba which is a
village just outside of Mbarara), which is the site of the the Province's
Novitiate.This may be my permanent assignment. I haven't been able to write because of no internet
access. Well that was remedied yesterday. So here I am. The weather
in Uganda is pleasant. It has been overcast much of the time which
keeps the temperature down. The Novitiate is a working farm. They
grow maize (corn), beans, okra and a variety of fruits (mangoes,
papaya, avocado, banana). We have three goats, two cows and 6 pigs
and 10 piglets (soon to be sold). Life here is simple and centered
around prayer, work and study. Here is a picture of the area. The friary sits on a hill so the view looks down. Sorry about the clarity but things are very hazy here. Wood fires are a main way of cooking food.

When I look on google map for Kakoba it says Kakoba Market. And then it shows me pics of the area. Is this where you are? If so, which side are you on. Will you be near the University or the hospital? Love you
