Camping Trip

We are going camping this Wednesday, and I'm really excited. I love how peaceful it is. It is my family's yearly vacation, and we're going to be there for 13 days!
  It is such a blessing to go and spend time relaxing and having fun with my family, and soaking up the Father's wonderful countryside.
  We have two more dogs this year, to add to the other two, so it should be a new, excting,(probably a little stressful), experience.


 One of my favorite things is at night when the sky is clear and full of stars; I love to just sit there, with the fire going, and worship and talk to the Father. (I can't claim credit for this picture, unfortunately.)

My favorite daytime activities while we're camping are throwing the football with my siblings and dad, and riding my bike.

I think it's Uganda.

So I'm thinking that it's Uganda. That's where I'm going to try to go next year. Did you know there are about 1.5 million orphans living in Uganda? My goal is to raise enough money to be able to go by next summer, the Lord willing. My mom has been talking to several people who are either living in, or are about to move to Uganda, so I have a few connections if this is indeed where I will end up. If you know anyone that could help me by giving me more information about anything regarding going to Africa, living in an orphanage, or raising funds, your help would be appreciated. At the yard sale we had this past weekend, my sister made some signs and a donation jar and set them out. Several very nice people donated :)
