Safari

We are very sorry that it has been so long since the last update! We'll try to get caught up on everything.
Last week, when Abby and I were sitting outside doing some schoolwork, a boy came over to us from Cure hospital. His mom told us he couldn't talk. He communicated by writing, using sign language, and other hand motions. He knew some quite a bit of English and we learned a lot just from his writing and signing. It was incredible how well he could communicate.
This weekend, we went to the Maasai Mara game park for a safari. It was an amazing trip! One highlight was seeing a lion in a tree, which is very unusual. We also were very excited to see a leopard for the first time. In addition to the lions and the leopard, we saw elephants, zebras, gazelles, warthogs, impala, giraffes, cheetahs, birds, baboons, dick dick, water buck, cape buffalo, and ostriches. On the way home, the roads were flooded badly in some areas. We weren't sure if we could make it over the rushing water, so we waited for about 20 minutes for it to go down. The water went down a little bit, and we made it across safely, thank you Jesus. We had a really wonderful weekend.
We will try to put some pictures up soon.
