Before leaving Uganda we spent a P-day at the River Nile Murchison Falls. We were so happy that another of those divinely orchestrated occurrences took place. We bumped into President Chatfield, Mission President over here!! Chris had been trying to get ahold of him for several days! They were able to have a great meeting and "take care of business" and answer questions & we felt blessed!

This tree on the right is a Sausage Tree. Those fruits are
as heavy as wood! Don't sit under a sausage tree! |

Pretty pool at the Paraa Safari Lodge and view beyond of the Nile |

All Aboard!!
We wanted to float the river in the African Queen
but we didn't have enough people so we took the Hipo Pod. |

We were welcomed by by a bunch of baboons and
