Spring Break and Counting Down!

Ed and I standing over the Nile. Where we stayed was literally right above the Nile. Behind us a ways is actually one of the rapids we went over. The Nile was absolutely beautiful. 

Here is our crew right after getting off of the bus in Uganda. It was a long day and we were all a bit worn out, but happy to have finally made it! :)

We are now back at school and counting down the weeks until summer! 5 to be precise! Three weeks ago was our Spring Break, and we were blessed to be able to got to Uganda for a couple of days. We didn't see much of Uganda other than  some of the landscape, but we were able to experience the AWESOME Nile River.

Ed and I have both been river rafting some in the states, but nothing can compare to rafting the Nile. It was absolutely amazing. The group we went with was made up of us and Rosslyn high school students. Since neither of us work in the high school, we really didn't know the students very well. But they were a blast and we had a great time getting to know them and really enjoyed their company. Quite a few of them were seniors so it was cool to be able to talk with them about going to college (most will be transitioning back to the states for college) and what their plans are. It was a quick few days with an all day bus ride to Uganda, a full day of rafting, and then a full day bus ride back. But it was completely worth it and is a trip we will remember for years to come. :)

The last few weeks have gone by fast. With the end of school winding down everyone is working on closing out things for this year and we are also busy working on schedules and agendas for next year already. Please pray that through this busy time we will have a blessed ending to our first year here. Please keep the staff who will be ending their time here in Kenya in your prayers as they focus on the next step God is leading them in. Also for the students. With projects due and finals coming up, this is a stressful time for students. Please pray that they will have a calmness and a peace and be able to enjoy the end of another school year.
