today i rode in a minibus jammed full of 20 young muslim scholars for about an hour. while being a "mzungu" squished with them seemed to be enough reason to make them laugh, my answers to their questions gave them enough reason to squeal (which is actually a typical surprised ugandan response...)
"did you leave your wife/wives at home?" i don't have a wife. "ahh!" (followed by much laughter). "how many kids do you have?" None. "ahh! you're mad!" (much laughter). "you believe jesus is god?" yes. "ahh!" (laughter).
they were disappointed i didn't convert at the end of the trip, but we all had a good time. a baptist minister boarded the vehicle as they left and assured me i believe in the correct god and have lots of time to find a wife.
ps. matt and i have parted ways for a few days as he checks out his old YWAM haunts and i check out white water rafting. it was a tearful goodbye, but we'll see each other soon.
