I would like to share some random memories of life in the
bush. So here are a few things that happened in the
bush and a lil bit from the start of our trek into Botswana:
African border into Botswana. Stick shift and driving on the left hand side of
the road added an extra adventure. Estimated time it should have taken us to
get to Lobatse, Botswana: 6 hours. Actual time: 9 hours (got a lil lost and
made a pit stop by Grace’s house, a nice lady we gave a ride to)
**Arriving in Botswana and meeting the Walker family…an
awesome family who nurtured, fed, and gave us a feel like home setting many
miles from home before we headed into the bush. 
**One day sitting outside while doing logistics for next
month, a large grunting baboon or (maybe even a mid sized gorilla) runs past
me. Needless to say I basically freaked out….since it had been a week since
going on a safari…and it was a little late for animals to be running around
freely!
at least 5 times while in the bush, and it was pure heaven.
**Tenting….I’ve carried that tent for almost 8 months
now…so I’m glad to finally get some use out of it. It was nice to have my own
space, but if I never sleep in a tent again…I won’t complain.
**Campfire worship while gazing at the clear starry night
sky.
satellite dish…and at night we would gather in his house to watch Scandal!
And Generations. We got really into it…I still wonder what’s gonna happen to
Shakira? P.S. The tv we watched the shows on was hooked up to a car battery
that was charged during the day by a solar panel….all in da bush baby.
bucket list…but since I’ve done it…check!
**Falling asleep one night in my tent and hearing in the far
off distance…children singing the “My God you are so Big” song we taught them hours before…
teams in the 11th hour. Never a dull moment!
(Bling cleaned up and out and about during debrief)
Last but not least check out the video below about ministry and life this month
in Botswana!
