A great adventure in the bush....

Okay...another great story for you!! We decided one day, since we didn't have our truck, that we would try walking to our village. We were sure we knew the way and figured it couldn't take us too long. So, we left the house bright and early at 7:00 am - stocked with water and other necessities. After about an hour and a half of walking, we began to realize that we were not anywhere that looked familiar! We were definitely lost!!



After another half and hour later of walking, we come upon a huge group of sheep. We moved to the side to watched and were amazed at what we saw.

We felt like we were watching the great Exodus unfolding before our eyes!! There were hundreds of sheep, cattle, and donkeys moving along with a caravan of camels carrying many people and things. It was like an entire village had picked up and moved! It was really a beautiful sight...kind of made our getting lost worth it!



Then, we turned around as they were fading out of sight and were met with an amazing, and rather scary, sight! The sky was turning almost black as a storm approached us! We had no intention of sticking around any longer and decided to head back - quickly!!

Here is a picture of the clouds we saw as we were going - fortunately, aside from a few sprinkles, we missed the storm!




We were actually a little worried for a little while that we might have to camp out in the bush by ourselves if we couldn't get back before it began to get dark...but fortunately our Father is great and we found our way back!!


Here is a view of some of the desert paths. It's no wonder one can get lost so easily out here!! Which way should we go?!?
