Uganda; day 149

Today was our last full day in Uganda, it was a busy day. We started this morning with white water rafting, we’d planned on going earlier but the company kept having to reschedule it, so it ended up being today. I have to say it was a good way to spend our last day here. We rafted for about 4 hours going between calm waters all the way to grade 5 1/2 rapids. Our raft flipped over twice and a big wave took Kurt out on his own once. It was a ton of fun, and only a little scary a couple of times. We ended our rafting adventure around 6:00 which gave us just enough time to take our last trip to the the home. It was strange going through our normal routine of walking to the taxi park, getting a local taxi to Wanyange and walking the dirt road to the home knowing it was the last time. The children all greeted us with hugs and many more hugs followed as we said our goodbyes. We’re leaving our hotel at 10:00AM tomorrow for the airport. I don’t think it’s sunk in quite yet that this little part of our lives is coming to an end.

The airways have had all kinds of problems lately so keep us in your prayers as we travel home. Pray for safe flights and no delays!
