Safari!!!

Today was the all day safari! So much fun and so cool. We didn't see anything dangerous though, which we all decided would have made it seem a little more adventureous. oh well, guess i'll have to return to Africa someday!! I'm thinking I'd like to visit Cape Town.

Exciting things today mission wise. At the end of our full day, we had to cross the river back to Zambia (our safari was actually in Botswana) and there is just a small boat owned by the company, so the 26 of us had to split up. Only another company's boat had broken down, so some of their people jumped on ours and 3 of our peeps stayed on shore with the guides for a little extra time until the boat could come back. During that time, they asked the group why we were all there and got talking about the mission trip and about their religion. 2 of the guides were Christians and the other, "Lucky", wasn't. Then my friends asked if they could pray for them and they all gave prayer requests, but Lucky said to pray for whatever they wanted for him. And they told him they wanted him to know Jesus Christ and he thanked them. Then they all exchanged email addresses and the guides said they wanted to know more! God is working already through our group! Awesome things friends! :)

Here's to another gorgeous day in Africa!! Pray for warm weather (my pants are getting quite dirty!!)
