Paraa Lodge and We're Headed Home...

The VOHA team has finally started their journey back to the States.  Yesterday, we arrived at Parra Safari Lodge.  Once in the national park, during our ride to the lodge, we were amazed to be in a van with water buffalo and giraffes right outside our car windows!  Once we arrived at the lodge, we enjoyed an afternoon boat ride along the Nile Rive and ventured up to Murchison Falls which is breathtaking.  Along the way we saw tons of hippos, crocs and amazing species of birds.  The temperature and fellowship were both perfect.  Afterward, we spent a much needed afternoon relaxing by the pool and then enjoyed our last evening meal together at the hotel.  The evening was spent debriefing as a team and preparing our hearts and minds for the transition back to the U.S. -  What a sweet time of sharing our favorite moments and all the ways God revealed himself to us during our time here.  We will see you tomorrow and can't thank you enough for you love and prayer support during our time in Uganda. 


Please continue to pray for our departure home as we will be leaving at 11:00pm (3:00pm CST) and arriving back in San Antonio Tuesday afternoon.


In the mean time, enjoy these fun pictures from our time in Gulu and a few from our time at the lodge...
