Well today was our Nile River rafting adventure. Tomorrow we head home and this is always a great way to unwind and do something truly incredible and fun.

For Jonah and I it did not turn out quite like that. We arrived at Adrift and went through the safety and info update and got our life vest, helmet, and paddle and then were informed that they have a minimum age of 16 due to their insurance. Denied. So the team headed to conquer the Nile and Jonah and I headed to the hotel. While disappointing we had fun together. We cleaned up, ate lunch, played solitare and mine sweeper on the computer, took a nap as we both are not feeling great, and then hopped on a boda boda and rode to town to shop and had an ice cream. Crazy to think of 2 Arkansas muzungu boys walking the streets and markets of Jinja, Uganda by ourselves. It was a great time for he and I to decompress and relax. Yes we would rather have been rafting for sure, but we made due and enjoyed hanging out.

The team has safely navigated the River Nile and made it back to the hotel. All reports say their raft did not flip over which is a success. Their guide, Tutu, was excellent. He safely got them through the rapids, crocs, hippos, snakes, and the Bad Place.... They are a bit sore and have some sun burns, but all in all everyone had a great time!

We are eating dinner and then to pack and bed.

We head back to Mayuge tomorrow morning for church. It will be great to see everyone again and worship. I love African church!

We will then take the bus to Kampala and hang out for a bit. Tim and Genessa are hoping to take this time to see their sponsored child who lives outside of Kampala. Please pray for this to happen for them. Our experience and Jody's have been so great and impactful, so it would be great for them to experience this. Then it is off to Entebbe to begin checking in and boarding the plane for the ride home. We leave Entebbe at 9:50pm Sunday night. We are all hoping that the person the Bishop called with KLM is able to put us together and then possibly a bump up to business class! He asked her to check on this for us. Would that not be awesome to fly home!

Our time in Uganda has been blessed. God has moved and we have all seen love in action. Thank you for your prayers and support. More reflection on the trip as we travel home.

Good night!
