Tuesday was spent in Akagara Park, which was awesome. We saw a LOT of animals, and many birds. We had a very knowledgeable guide with a good bird book. We were in the park for about 8 hours and made it from the south to the north. The roads were very rough but no problem with Oswald our driver and a 4-wheel drive land cruiser. The only problem was the many many horseflies inside the vehicle making a meal of us.

This Wednesday the pit silo was finished - filled with grass and covered with several feet of soil. Exciting and we hope it will work as planned.

Day 5 for the incubator and it seems to be working well and keeping the eggs at 37.5 degrees Celsius / 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

****But the most exciting thing about Wednesday was that Mama Arlene arrived home today. All the kids dressed in their nicest clothes, sang a "welcome home" song for her and showered her with flower petals. And hugs. And kisses. She is happy to be home. And what a blessing she is to these children!

READ Tomorrow about the cow water trough and the chicken tiller.

*Mama Arlene the day she LEFT for the US as I don't have a photo of her coming home yet. But the prayers and the love are the same coming and going!! Notice the flip flips and crocs the kids are wearing that St. Paul's sent.
