Well today I had a definite first for my life: I hand washed my clothes. And no, it wasn't just one or two things, it was ALL my laundry. We had a power "incident" that fried our washer and therefore as we are waiting for it to be repaired, I became somewhat desperate and therefore decided to be ambitious and wash my own clothes. The Ugandans do it all the time, and so I thought I would see just how it was to do it all, not just a couple things in my sink, but the full shabang. So now, after many pieces of brightly colored clothes, blisters on my fingers, a nice sunburn, buckets of water, and clothes pins, I have now officially had my first do-it-yourself laundry experience. And all I have to say is praise God for whoever invented the washing machine!
The good, the sometimes bad, and the occasional ugly truth of all that is happening in and around me while serving in Jinja Uganda as a missionary with Calvary Chapel.
