Hello again,
It is early Thursday morning, typing as the sun comes up over the valley here at Noah's Ark Children's Ministry. I am not sure how long ago I blogged, but I thought I better keep you informed.
Yesterday we spent the day at Jinja, Uganda's 2nd largest city. It's main source of income is tourism as Jinja's distinction is being the "Source of the River Nile". The team got to do some shopping for local trinkets and goodies and then go out on a river boat tour of Lake Victoria and the River Nile. It is usually a beautiful boat ride as the breeze comes off the lake and keeps you chilled from the hot Ugandan sun, but not this time. This time it rained, well poured actually. The team was not disappointed as it was still an adventure and some animals were spotted.
We then headed off to Bugali Falls (not spelled right), winding our way down the bumpy roads that were now awash with a current of red water. It was a lot of fun to be speeding along as the splashing water looks like Clamato juice or something and all the school kids walking home would stand by the side of the road, wait, and then scream with excitement when they got splashed. We even passed some Muzungo's on motorcycles that we managed to splash! If you know me, you would know that that sort of thing is rigth up my ally. The team got soaked while visiting the Falls, but it was still awesome to see them.
When we finally got back to Noah's Ark and got all showered and washed up, we enjoyed a splendid BBQ dinner that Mark and Schafer cooked for the rest of us. It was a great way to end Mark and Helen's last night in Uganda as we spent the night in fellowship.
Mark and Helen will be off today at about 11am to drive to Entebbe and begin their journey home. Please pray for their safety during travel, for their flights and their health.
Blessings,
