A night with the Elephants!!


A few of you can say that they have slept in the same compound with an elephant!,and thats what just happened to the Sunday school children when we took a trip to Nanyuki Sweetwaters last week .For them, no one except the teachers had ever gone seen the animals let alone camping and they had been waiting for this day from the time we started planning for this trip in January.They were really excited and anxious to go and enjoy what God has created and placed in the earth.As we arrived there,we were received by welcoming committee which included the baboons who are not the kind of animals you would want to welcome you, but for us we had the baboons as well as an even bigger welcomer in the camping site, An Elephant!. When the children heard that an elephant was in the compound that night there was a mixture of fear and excitement in the air.Most of them had only seen a shadow of the animal that night but the next day in the Sweetwaters park, they were able to see exactly how their last night visitor looked like.
They had some much fun playing, seeing animals,singing around the fire and telling each other scary stories at night.Dennis and the other boys said they don't mind staying there for a whole month!but as usual a wonderful time always ends quicker that you expect.

I'm so glad this trip became a reality. It sounds like it was a great success. Way to go, Paco. :-) Thanks for the report on this.
