Uganda makes my lips dry...

We're off on Safari!!!

Right now, there's a little bit of questioning over where we're actually going to stay! unfortunately there was a bit of a booking mix-up, so instead of all staying in cottages, there are 2 of them, and 3 tents booked! ARGH! BUT, we have been praying, and Steve is on the phone, and we're hoping for an upgrade. We've all prayed really hard, and have complete faith that God is going to intervene to make this the nicest experience possible.

But anyways, we will be off shortly, our driver is on the way, so the blog will be quiet until about saturday. We will let you all know what happens with the accommodation, and tell you all the animals we've seen and how much fun we are bound to have had! I'm still very excited, even though it might end up being a camping holiday instead of a hotel break ;)

This week has been great so far - there have been emotional moments, and it's all quite hard to take in, but meeting all these people and actually making friends with them and building relationally with them has been fantastic. We dug for kasava (sp?!), which is like a root staple food, yesterday, which was really good fun, even though Reuben hoe'd his toe! oops! he is all good though :)

Right, we will be off now. i'm missing family and friends quite a lot, even though i'm having a great time here, so know that i'm thinking about you all while i'm here, and can't wait to have a chat with you all when i get back.

Much love, Em xxx

PS. we have had an update - there is no change with the accommodation, so as far as we know, most of us will be camping :s
pray that we will be ok, and that we'll be protected from the bugs!
PPS - oh, and Uganda makes my lips dry. dunno why. it just does. Praise God for vaseline...
