Hello Everyone!

Hey Everybody!
Things are going wonderful here in Uganda. We just got back from our Safari a couple of days ago so I am really blessed to have had the opportunity. It was a crazy long journey but we had a lot of fun times. We woke up very early Wednesday morning and set off to Kampala, the largest city in Uganda to catch a bus to Kasese which is just 45 minutes outside of the game park. We ended up getting to Kampala later than we thought and we missed our bus to Kasese so we had to take a really late one. We were so blessed though because Ken, our director has a brother there and he was able to pick us up and help us find accommodations. The next morning we were able to enter the park and we crossed the equator on the way. We had an amazing driver so we were able to see so many things and animals in the park such as buffalo, warthogs, elephants, koby deer, lions, and all different kinds of birds. We also took a boat ride down the channel and we were able to see hippos, crocodiles, and other animals. It was a really wonderful experience and since all the animals are free to move about wherever they want, we had an elephant walk right by our table while we were eating and it was eating off the grill! We also camped so we got to have animals walk by our tent all night long, the hyenas, warthogs, and other animals were practically sleeping with us. Our campsite also overlooked Edward Lake so the scenery was absolutely beautiful.
Sunday we went to pray and worship with New Hope and it was amazing. It was our second Sunday there and every time we fall in love with it more and more. There is nothing in the world like seeing the children praising and worshiping God together. To them nothing else in the world matters because they are worshipping their God and I am so blessed that it is the same God here in Uganda, Africa that we have in the states.
Everyday we learn more and more from the Ugandan people. They portray such an image of Jesus in their everyday life through their love and servant hood. Please continue to pray for the orphanage and all of the children there. Also the other two volunteers that we are currently serving with are leaving in a week so please pray that their last week would go well and for safe journeys home. Thanks so much for your love, prayers, and support! God bless you
