Welcome to Botswana

After a very long two days of travel we have finally made it to Gaborone, Botswana. Botswana is a beautiful country with even better weather! Lindsey and I took a run this morning when the air was still cool and crisp which we really needed because we have been having a buffet for every meal since we got here!! You might be wondering what animals we have seen so far in Africa....and I would have to say two bunny rabbits and a cat! Hahaha. We are at a lodge for a few days to get settled in and then we are going to stay with a local host family for the next three months. Overall things are going great and we will be checking the internet for the next few days regularly so send a message if you want! We hope you are all doing well too!

    We're glad you made it to Botswana safely. The boys miss you very much, but they know you are having a great time. You have sparked their interest in doing great things for this world. Thank you for setting a wonderful example and showing them they can do anything they set their minds to. We love you both and can't wait to hear more about Africa!
