The last few days!

Hi Everyone: Sorry haven’t blogged lately. No internet service. On the way to Murchinson Falls we stopped by store for an ice cream and lo and behold it was actually an orphanage which was started by a retired couple who had come to Uganda to do pastoral training and ended up starting this orphanage. They started it in 2003 and now have about 250 children. We got so many great ideas again on how to progress with Touch. Spent the last couple days at the Paraa Lodge. Absolutely fantastic lodge with amazing food. What a great place to relax after an emotional week. We went on the safari and how amazing to see God’s great creation. To see the animals in there natural setting is so unbelievable. Today we came to the chimpanzee park and did the hike. Spending more time touring this beautiful country. Tomorrow we will be leaving for Kampala. Can hardly believe this journey is coming to an end. I really praise God that we have all been feeling so good. Been away from the children from the orphanage and village for a few days and already wish I could stop in there one more time to see them. You can’t help but miss those little arms around you.

         Tonight we arrived in Kampala, had alittle relax time(those are the times your waiting three hours for food hah TIA).  Tomorrow we will spend sometime shopping in the local markets with Rosemary.  Please continue to pray as we start packing up and starting our journey home. We leave here Saturday at 2pm(your time) and arrive in calgary at 6:40pm.
         Special thanks to all those who wrote encouragement notes which we got to read each day in africa. Can hardly wait to share all of are exciting stories.

ps thanks for the prayers with my ankles. All is good. Sherry

So how many hundred of animals did you see?
Reading about your time in Africa makes me anticipate even more the next time for us going back.
I am glad that you have all remained healthy!
We are praying. See you soon.
