OK, so I haven’t had a lot of time to right over the last 24
hours. In fact it is 7am here in Uganda and I am getting ready for a 2hr dive
into Kampala. We have to meet with the Embassy, our attorney, and Joyce is getting her pins taken out of her
arm…keep us both in your prayers for that one!
I just wanted to take a few minutes and tell you that
yesterday was one the most amazing days in my life. Most of my trips here have
been consumed with hours in the car, visits to the lawyer’s office, doctor’s
offices, embassy appointments and more hours in the car! However, yesterday me
and another guy who is here with his family to adopt took the day to go do man
stuff! I mean real man stuff!
We went whitewater rafting on THE Nile River, class 4 and 5 rapids all day long. For those that
don’t know what a class 4 or 5 rapid is…those are the ones that make you say
holy crap…or a few other not so spiritual words!
Then, I bungee jumped from 145ft above the Nile. I have
never felt such a rush! Words can’t even begin to describe the felling. It was something
I will never forget.
When we were driving back to the orphanage, we drove over
the Nile from a very high bridge. As we looked down over the water, there was a
big alligator (or croc, not sure what they have here) sitting on a big rock in
the middle of the river. To be as big as he was from where we were I would put
him at least 6-8 feet long. That put our rafting trip on a whole new level!
Freakin’ Amazing!

WOW! That is about all I can say. That sounds amazing.
That is so cool!!!! I'm not your typical girl, I don't think - I would have loved to do both of those things.
There's something prophetic in these pictures... being engulfed by the river and diving head first into the great unknown... i *love* it :D
