Nile Adventures

It's been an interesting week with the well being out.  We've made the best of our situation and witnessed God work in amazing ways!  The pump guys arrived this morning, and are working on the well now.  Once it gets fixed, Donna and I are hoping to hitch a ride to Gulu with Charles to take a few days to explore the city.
People have been donating to help cover the cost of the pump, which is incredible!  It's amazing how many extra costs are involved, since we have had to hire more people to help pump and drive water, drive supplies for both villages, pay town fees to use their well, and so much more.  The pump cost has been covered, but if you would like to donate to the fund as a whole and help cover these extra costs, go to villageofhopeuganda.com and make a donation, putting what it is for in the memo line.
Thank you!
Here's a few pictures of our Nile adventure.  We took a boat across the Nile and walked to Atura.  It was a fun adventure!  Yes, the Nile has snakes, crocodiles, hippos, etc but we thankfully did not see any!  It was a beautiful day, and such a neat moment to watch the sunset across the Nile while sitting in a dugout canoe!

Our boat driver wanted his picture with me.  I was quite flattered!
