HIPPO ATTACK! (hasn't happened!)

Wow! God's creation is amazing!

Yesterday  we spent a lot of time traveling back to Kampala, this provided a well needed rest, apart from the very frequent and large bumps.

We visited a craft market and a food court, where we were swamped by different people trying to sell us their food- we all chose Italian in the end.

Today we had a very early start, but with a very welcomed change of breakfast choice.

We traveled to Lake Mburo with our wonderful drivers Carlos and Kenny.

We have seen zebras, monkeys, warthogs, water bucks, bush bucks, a python, topi, hippos, kingfishers, impala, some very small crocodiles and lots of other things we have forgotten the name of. Wow- they are all so cool! 

We have just finished an AMAZING devotion, around a fire, by the lake, hearing hippos and seeing lots of lightning in the distance. It was so great (Andy spoke well too!)

We are going on an early morning drive, and then traveling back to Kampala.

Please pray:
-that we can begin to work out what God is saying to us individually through this trip, and how we can apply this to our life when we return home.
- energy for our work back in Kampala.
- patience, as we are all finding each other a bit annoying!
- that the brown storms will pass!

  3. I expect that Jesus got fed up with his friends sometimes too, He went off on his own for a bit, which you can't do, but it's ok to feel as you do, He understands!! love and prayers for the rest of the week. The Elphick Olds!
