Uncle Mikey showing the children a picture of the same fountain behind him.
That fountain behind Uncle Mikey froze so heavily in the Winter of 2015 that the ice rose to over 80 feet tall. It made national news.

Guess where the team stopped this week?
Niagara Falls!
"Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; 
all your waves and breakers have swept over me."
Psalm 42:7
Getting close up...absolutely breathtaking!
A little wet from the mist of Niagara Falls, 
but well worth it to experience God's magnificent creation!
All the girls.
All the boys.
All the Ethiopians.
All the Indians.
All the tour staff.
All the team (except Uncle Mikey...he was taking the picture.)
Lawmi, Helen, Apuii and Saii
Donaldson, Sanga, Mawitea and Yosef
Millie, Uncle Ben and Besu
What amazing memories together!
 Happy Birthday Feli!
Singing Happy Birthday with Niagara Falls in the background.

What a special memory and 
fun place to celebrate Feli's birthday!
We love you Feli- your smile, joy, laughter
and sweet heart!
