Recap of Monday's travel day..

Good morning from Jinja! Yesterday was a long day for he team. We left Gulu at 6am and traveled to Murchison Falls National Park. This was an awesome side trip for us. As we drove through the park to the falls we saw giraffes, cape buffalo, antelope, a couple of elephants in the distance, and warthogs. It is amazing to see these animals in their natural habitat, and the numbers were huge! We the took a boat tour up the Nile River to the falls. On the way we got to see hippos and crocs in the wild. And we got to see them up close. We almost lost Morgan, Audrey, and Samantha to a hippo, but luckily all is well! (just kidding). We did see them up close and persona. It was amazing. The falls were awe inspiring. The pics do not do it justice. We also got to drive to the top of the falls; the sound and sights were awesome. Huge amounts of water flowing at such speed. Standing at the top of the falls listening to the sound and being sprayed with water was wonderful. The experience truly makes the scriptures come alive.... Truly the rocks and the water cry out in praise of the Creator! This was a great day for the team to take a break and see some of the country's beauty. Winston Churchhill called Uganda the pearl of Africa and after seeing the creation today I agree. Today we head out to a clinic and a house build with Pastor Edward. He and his wife, Julie, and son, Isaiah, met us at the hotel last night. It was a blessing to see my brother! Like seeing family after a long delay. Pray for the team to be rested and strengthened to go out and serve and love today! Going to be a great day in the Lord! Peace, Chris and Kysia
