Well, weve had an awesome time so far! On Sunday we sang in the village church in the morning and then in the church service in town in the evening.

Today we went to the Kruger National park. We left the house just before 6am and got to the park around 8am. While there, we saw zebra, elephants, nyala (a type of deer), warthogs, waterbuck (another deer), hyenas, rhinos, hippos, giraffe, cape buffalo, steinbuck (small deer), vervet monkeys, baboons, impala (a common deer), Wildebeast, and many types of birds.

While driving, Mr. Wilhite explained that the Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant, and Cape Buffalo were called the Big Five because if you hunt them, they turn around and hunt you. We were able to see 3 of these 5!

A few of the pictures are from an elephant museum that was at one of the camps inside the park.
