Safari day in Botswana

Wednesday was safari day. We left at 6:15a.m. to head into Livingstone, then to the border crossing where we took a ferry to Botswana and then finally, to Chobe Game Park. It was a truly wonderful day! In the morning we went out on the river in a boat to see crocodiles, hippos, elephants, lizards, impalas, water buffalo, a few other animals that I don’t remember, and lots of birds. We then had lunch at a beautiful lodge. After lunch we got in game viewers to see the animals on land. In addition to the other animals, we saw some adorable monkeys and even a bunch of giraffes. The team took literally hundreds and maybe even thousands of pictures so that you can all see the wildlife as well.

Today we are finishing up our painting project and putting the children in new outfits from the donations that we brought. Stay tuned for stories of very excited children with new clothes.

Thank you for all of your prayers and support. We are keeping you in our prayers as well.
