Lake Naivasha and Mombasa

Hello all! We hope you are having a wonderful beginning to the new year! We wanted to share some pictures with you from our camping trip and our trip to the coast. We went camping a couple of nights, including New Year's Eve, a week and a half ago. There were 6 of us total from Rosslyn that went. We went to a sight that borders Lake Naivasha. One neat thing about the site is hippo's will come up during the night to the shore to eat. We were lucky one night to see one. We also went to Crater Lake, which was just about an hour from where we were camping, to hike. We also ended up doing a night game drive which was a  really neat experience. Here are a couple pictures from that trip:

One other cool thing about the site is there is a large group of monkeys that live nearby and often stroll through the campgrounds. They are cute, but we know enough to keep our distance.

This is the top view of Crater Lake and it's surroundings.

We had a great time on our trip to Mombasa this last week. It was full of swimming and relaxing, a perfect vacation! :) We did go snorkeling one day which was really cool. We saw a lot of different kinds of starfish and some cool fish. The resort we went to was really nice and the beach was beautiful. We had a wonderful time hanging out with our friends Kelly and Matt and getting some sun!

This is the view we had from our porch off of our room. A nice view to wake up to!

We start our 2nd semester here at Rosslyn tomorrow. Please pray that we will be positive and encouraging in all the situations we may find ourselves. Pray that our students will see the Love of the Lord shining through us each day. Thank you for your encouragement. It is almost unbelievable to think we have been here for almost 6 months. We have had our rough times, but the Lord is faithful. We hope you all are blessed abundantly!
