In Kenya

The last post was interrupted b/c we had to get back to the hotel. I'll talk a little more on the festivals. They included an African praise and worship time which means an hour of singing and dancing. Erica and I tried to participate at a festival and we only lasted about 15 minutes they work hard while praising the Lord. Then there is a drama done by our team, I was in the creation drama a few times. Then a testimony and the evangelist. We did multiple festivals in a night so there was other people from the team giving the gospel. After the invitation was given our team would load up on the buses and head back to the hotel. The churches in the camps did the follow up details.
On Sunday we were back in churches around the area. At the church I went to there were a couple people who had received Jesus at our festival that week. That was awesome to see. Monday morning we loaded up and head to a national park to see some wild animals. On the drive through the park to the resort I saw giraffes, elephants and a lot of antelopes. Erica and I didn't go on the land safari that afternoon. We went on a river cruise on the Nile on Tuesday morning. I was hoping it would be like the Jungle Cruise ride at Disney land:) We saw hippo, crocs, water buffalo and lots of colorful birds. It was beautiful! I'm in awe of God's creative ability.
As soon as we got off the boat ride we climbed in our vans and started the drive back to Entebbe airport. It took over 9 hours to get there. We spent the first 3 or 4 hours driving on dirt roads, once we hit the paved road it was smoother.
Erica and I have made lots of new friends and although the van ride was long, hot and dusty we had a blast with these new friends. The last obstacle we encountered was getting separated from the other vans in Kampala just before Entebbe. Kampala is the capital city and pretty big. The Lord is good and protected us as we dove on dark, bumpy, dirt back roads to finally find our way to Entebbe.
Entebbe was where we left the team. They flew out and we stayed the night in Entebbe. This morning we flew to Nairobi where Erica and I are now. We will be taking the train to the coast this evening. So much has transpired in the last 10 days it is hard know how to feel about it. I'm looking forward to the next few days to process all the Lord has done. Please keep praying for safe travels I know your prayers have been felt by our team.
