Our Mission in Movie Quotes Part 2

We have two weeks left on our mission.  I know that as we head back to Mbale we will be supa' busy so I thought I would post our movie quotes before we get back to Mbale.  I know I will have a hard time journaling/posting all that we will be doing in Mbale so I'm throwing these movie quotes in a little early:)

Aladdin
“Ten Thousand years can give you SUCH a crick in the neck!”
-Genie after coming out of his bottle

Watching the women carry heavy loads on their heads.  Full jeri cans of water, firewood, huge baskets of fruit etc……..

“……And then I fell in love with you. (You fell in love with me?) No….Yes….I fell in love with ALL of you.”

How we feel about our Mbale Branch.

The heat, dust, and dirt in Mbale during the dry season.  (January and February)

  2. How creative!! I absolutely loved your movie quotes applied to real life. Especially the ones I recognized. My favorite was Simba getting caught in the wildebeast stampede/what it felt like driving in traffic! I could never drive there - I'm a horrible driver! How fun! You're home so soon - you'll have to come visit us in the baptistry!!
