Last Night

Well, this is it. This is our last night here. Today has been pretty relaxing: church, lunch at Herb and Ellen's farm property (we are staying at Herb and Ellen's), then toured some local Kampala sights. Yesterday was a pretty cool day. We went to a national park and walked with the animals – literally. We got out of the bus and slowly got as close as we could to a number of different native animals (zebras, various species of deer, monkeys, baboons, etc. Then we went on a boat tour of on a beautiful lake – saw a lot of hippos, couple crocs, some pretty cool eagles, etc. See the new pictures on the picture link to see some of the animals.

It has been a great trip. I would suggest something like this to anyone. It has been amazing in so many different ways. Being here with Luke has once again been a great father/son experience. Watching him with the children here is amazing. Seeing the extreme need here is heart breaking. Being able to really help people here has been a blessing for us. Being welcomed to each village and community with hugs, smiles, hand shakes, dancing, and children singing has been one of the most memorable pieces of the trip. Hearing children call out 'Mzungu' in excitement when we drive by in the bus is a very cool experience. Seeing my fellow teammates serve and love the people here has been awesome to watch. Seeing God in it all is everything.
