This past week I had the opportunity to go on a little road trip to a few places in southern Namibia. It was a wonderful time! Kristen, Heidi, Catherine, and myself packed into a bakkie (small pickup) and traveled to Fish River Canyon. It was an amazing sight - breathtakingly beautiful! The silence from the top was unmatched! We were disappointed to find out you are only allowed to hike in the canyon with a guide during the months of April-September because of the heat, but were still able to hike around the top and catch some unforgettable views such as this one:
Me at the Canyon... it's the second largest canyon in the World!
Thursday we were able to spend the day canoing down the Orange River, which was a blast! Here is Catherine and I before we started the trek:
On the drive back, we stopped at a place called 'Giants Playground', and climbed some rocks - here I am at the top :)This week we'll be in Windhoek running a Christmas program at a Children's Home. We'll have around 15 kids who are left at the orphanage for the holiday, and will be spending the day doing songs, crafts, games, and bible stories with them - should make for a great week!
I hope that as the Christmas season is approaching quickly, the Lord is setting your heart in awe of the magnificent birth of Christ!
Much Love,
Mackenzie
