traveling for our last week and have now completed the first half of
our Safari in Lake Nakura National Park, hence the cheesy 'lion'
title. The Safari has been phenomenal so far, surpassing all of my
expectations and hopes.
Animals seen today: Baboons, Zebra, Gazelle, Impala, Water Buck, Water
Buffalo, White and Black Rhino, a Hyena, Flamingo, Calibus and Verbet
monkeys, a bunch of birds, and a few Giraffe in the distance.
Animals we hope to see tomorrow: Giraffe up close, Lions, Leopard, and
of course all of the other beautiful animals
As we are enjoying our time here traveling we are also aware of the
close friendships and relationships we are leaving behind. We have
been making phone calls today to our hosts to try and make sure we
talk to everyone before we leave the country. It is sad knowing that
these people who dedicated their whole entire being to us for 6 weeks
will become long distance email addresses and pictures in picture
frames. We are of course glad for these technological advances that
will allow us to stay in touch with our new friends and families but
we are conscious of the fact that they will alwas be more than faces
and stories. Our lives have forever been touched by the people of
Kenya, their lives, their love, their stories, their country, and OUR
God.
I know I speak for all of us when I say thank you Lord for allowing us
the opportunity to give and accept your love this summer.
