The journey home has begun. The team left Mbale this morning and headed to Kampala. They stopped to see the baboons and enjoyed feeding them bananas. They traveled on to see the memorial for the early christians that were killed. After arriving in Kampala the team enjoyed a nice dinner and a performance by the children of Elohim Child Development. The kids from this group are kids that at one time lived on the streets. The director takes children that live on the streets and teaches them the cultural music of the area. Money they raise keeps them off the streets. 

The team members that had gone on the gorilla trek was late getting to Kampala. On the way back their van broke down. It started overheating and they had to turn around and go back to a shop that could fix it.

Some of the team members will leave a little early tomorrow. They are staying in Amsterdam for a couple of days and will take a different flight than everyone else. After breakfast the team will do a little shopping. Then after lunch they will drop the Amsterdam group at the airport. The rest of the group will go on to site see a little around Lake Victoria, then head for the airport to come home. I love those words…come home.

I was thinking this morning that not every team member has shared something during the trip. I had someone get a little upset with me one year because she hadn’t seen anything from her family members that were part of team. Some of them just don’t have anything to add to what others have said. Does that make sense? I can only write what Craig gives me.
