Bundibugyo

On July 30th Jeff, Ronald and I went to Bundibugyo to visit with a Christian leader their. It was a long and bumpy ride. The 2 1/2 hour drive gave us plenty of time to talk about the ministry opportunities here. We also got to see many Congolese refugees because we were so close to the border. The kids were really cute but very shy. Here is a picture of some who didn't want to stick around long enough for a picture.

Bundibugyo is about 4 kilometers from the Congolese border. We were not allowed to go into the Congo because of the war, but we did get a good look across the border from the mountain road.

Looking into Congo

The drive was beautiful and green. We drove through a think forest on the way. We also passed a group of Pigmis on the return trip. The Pigmis who had some huts near the side of the road, but it was to dark to get any good pictures. We also got to talk to one of the Pigmi men who came up to our vehicle when we were stopped to assist some lost hikers. So, I've officially met my first Pigmi and I'm sure it won't be the last.

Also, its Aimee and my anniversary today. Five years!!! Its hard to believe that it has been five years. Aimee and I are still very happily married and loving each other. It seems like we learn something new about each other every day. Lord willing, we will have many more happy years ahead of us.
