| Greg and Chris Enjoying Some Coffee
Blog Post 6/8/15
Sunburned and Scared in the Pearl of Africa
Well today was interesting.... We started by leaving the hotel at 5:15am. It was dark and we were tired. We made this decision because we planned to take a detour and drive through the Murchison Falls Wildlife Park. It was totally worth it! We asked Edward if we could stop for coffee somewhere and finally ended up around 7:00am in Nwoya at the Ree Coffee Café, a market stop where we hopped out and drank a coffee. It was cool hanging out and talking to kids going to school while enjoying some Ugandan coffee.
I do want to say that while we were stopped there may or may not have been an incident, which I can neither confirm nor deny, in which Greg took a wrong turn in the toilet and came upon someone bathing. Oh my! Just need to ask him about it to verify.

We had to wait for the ferry so we hung out by the Nile and low and behold up comes a hippo not far from us in the water! And a family of them were just off the point! Then a herd of elephants came out of the jungle and down to water not far away. Talk about an incredible experience!

We finally crossed the Nile and drove to Jinja. Twelve hours of travel on the bus!
The team is fed and showered. Medical supplies are packed ready for tomorrow. We head to His Mercy School in Mayuge for a medical clinic. I cannot wait to get there and see Viola, Regan and Mama Jessica and all the children! I love the school so much!
The team is bone tired and ready for sleep. Keep those prayers coming as we want to finish strong!
Thank you all for your support!
We love and miss you!
Chris
