We added more pictures!

I need to put in a shout out to my awesome co-worker Thomas Wicker, as I am using his Canon Digital Rebel camera on this trip and couldn’t be more grateful for the offer to use it. The camera is so fun to use and has really been able to capture much of our trip. Thanks again T, I can’t tell you how much the camera has meant to me on the trip. Here are some new pictures as well as some captions for the old pictures.



This was Tiffany’s favorite animal to see. We got lucky that we got to get so close!

Chris and Tiffy ~ Thanks so much for sharing your photos and journal entries. Tif your legs are so flippin white in that picture.. You need sun... Sorry to hear about your friend Travis. Hope that you will be able to see him soon. With the information you have been writing about and the information I have also learned this week I hope you know that we do have a better life here. We miss you and look forward to seeing you both very soon.. LY Tonya:)

Thanks for writing about your day to day life. It is very interesting to hear about the African culture and daily lifestyle. Enjoy being a tourist over the weekend and travel safely...I am off to go have a mint brownie bar with mint ice cream.

Wow... I can hear children's laughter from your pictures. The children are beautiful and it is amazing to see the joy in their eyes even in their difficult circumstance. I am truly humbled... We (Americans) have a lot to learn from these kids.

I will continue to pray for both of you and that your presence and your work in Uganda will bring glory to God the Almighty.
