The Source of the Nile
On Friday we went with some friends to Lake Victoria and then headed out on an old boat that was very odd looking for a tour of the lake and to the source of the Nile. It was very fun and I felt like we were in the jungle in the Swiss Family Robinson Movie. We saw birds and where Gandi's ashes were thrown over the river. It is amazing that the river can go for 4,000 miles north through alot of Africa. We then went swimming at King Fisher we than headed into Jinji and went shopping at the craft markets. That was fun. On our way home we saw a huge billboard of the missionaries and then on the other side was Jesus. I had never seen that before and so we had to take a picture. THen we stopped at one of the busy fruit markets on the way home. It is amazing big busy stop and lots of people run up to sell their things to them through the window. The people never leave the bus. I have been so amazed that African can sit for hours and never move. One bus was from Kenya and had a christian group that had come to Uganda for Martiars Day. It is held once a year close to us nd Africans from all over pilgramage here for the day. It is a day in 1800's 25 christians were killed by the king of Buganda because they would not denounce their faith. As we were leaving the fruit market Tim had given our some pictures of Christ within moments the car was surrounded with people saying "Give Me More Jesus" We had a wonderful day and the Lord blessed us with safety.
