I have always been really impressed with the members here, but this last sunday was quite funny. We had an older sister stand up and lay down the law on modesty. She said, "if you wear mini skirts in Kampala you WILL get raped! It has happened before and it will happen again. Also, if you wear balance (baggy pants hanging off of your butt) the homosexuals will be turned on will come after you!" My whole team looked around at each other and had to bury our heads in our hands to stifle the laughter. As a whole, Ugandans are very frank and straight forward, but to bring up topics about homosexuality and raping is very taboo. Currently, the government is debating over a law to punish homosexuality by death. Every week church never ceases to put a smile on my face.
