We were so blessed last week with "vistahs" from home, the Thomas Family, Rick and Vikki Rogers and Trent Messick. We had a wonderful time catching up and just being together. Of course, we could not let them go home without going on safari and seeing all our friends at Divine Grace. We had a great safari. We saw elephants, hippos, giraffes, Cape buffalo, Jackson Heartbeast,  monkeys, baboons, lizards, and more. I am truly amazed each time at how great God is and how wonderful all his creation is.
We spent a few days around Kampala going to church, visiting Jjogo school, and just hanging out. We then made our way to Divine Grace Primary School, stopping at the equator for a photo and an equator experiment. Did you know that you weigh 3% less when standing on the equator? We had a good time visiting with the staff and students at DG. They are always a blessing to be with!

To our dear friends who are family,
Thank you so much for making the sacrifice and taking the time to come ALL the way to Uganda. You will never know how great a blessing it was for us to be with you all. We love you all and look forward to seeing you soon!!!
