africa 2012

For the last week and a half, Arlan and I had the privilege to travel across the vast Atlantic and experience the beauty, love & faces on the African continent. We first landed in Johannesburg, South Africa, where we enjoyed an overnight hotel stay and then boarded a plane the next day for Ndola, Zambia, to hook up with a Lifesong for Orphans vision team. We got to see the Easter program, directed by Leslie Ringger & play, hug & chat with the kids. We got to see the Lifesong school, strawberry farms, attend church with a few kids, and visit some of their homes.
What an amazing staff Lifesong has in place teaching, mentoring & lifting up Christ's name 8000 miles away!

The last 2 days we then flew to Livingstone, Zambia, to enjoy the beautiful Victoria Falls (the largest falls, not highest, in the world) and experience a river & land safari in Botswana before heading back to the states again via Johannesburg.

Long flights...much exhaustion, but oh, so worth it!
Thank you G & G Miller, Auntie Vera & "Aunt" Holly & "Uncle" Kent for watching our Havers so we could experience this incredible trip!

So many pictures, so I separated my videos into 2: one with the orphanage pics & the other with the safari pictures.
