Africa adventures part 1....

I titled this, part 1. Being as we live here, there will be plenty more adventures....especially with a very active boy....
The other day a young man came by our house and offered us a monkey to buy!! That doesn't happen every day :)
Anyways he said he catches these monkeys and tames them...ya right...and would be willing to sell us one for 50,000/= Ugandan shillings ($35.00). Doug and I talked about it- yes we actually did entertain the idea- I mean how cool would it be to have a pet monkey...Anyhow, in the end we decided No...who knows what kind of disease they carry.
But we did ask the young man if he could bring it by for us just to see (At the low cost of $3.50). So on Wednesday morning, in came this man with a monkey tied to a rope. He tied it to a tree so we could feed him banana's, guava's and biscuits.
Jotham LOVED it and was sad to see it go. But what an experience for him!! It's not every day you get to welcome the wild life around here into your compound. :)

Thank You Lord, for Your wonderful creation that You allow us to enjoy!
Amen
