Safari Couples Conference




This has been a great week.  We traveled to a Senior Couples Conference in Malawi and then went on a Safari back in Zambia. Saw elephants, hippos, crocs, impala, zebra, giraffe, warthogs and more.

All the senior couples at our training.  From left, Fakalata, us, Lewis, Jones, Rowan, and our mission President and wife.
Yes we were really that close!

Impalas.  They are plentiful. That's because they are the dinner for many animals.
Our last lunch in Malawi together before heading back home.




My friend at the border crossing.  I gave him a cookie so he brought me this casaba root.  

Border Crossing between Malawi and Zambia; Took 5 hours to get through.

Warthog with the two babies.  So ugly!


Our bungalow was on the right.  In the middle of the night we got up to take pills for a headache and looked out that window and there was a momma and baby hippo munching on the grass.  They had told us previously not to leave the room at night.  Now we know why...

  1. Looks like you finally met up with the Rowan's. If you remember, they are in my son's ward in Merced. Looks like a great adventure you two are having!

    1. So We called Rowans and they said they love Clint and Katie. They have a funny story about Clint and their son's outing they will tell us about sometime.
