Kasane

Sunset on the Chobe River -
It was an amazing weekend in Kasane - spiritually and seeing all the animals.  We stayed with a young single sister, Corniella, who is a very strong member.  She along with two young couple have been through the temple, and that makes so much difference.  The group at Kasane is very strong, there are about 13 members.  We had a training meeting with them on Friday, a supper Saturday night and then church on Sunday.  They meet in a very small room but it is filled with the spirit.  Their fast and testimony meeting was one of the most humbling meetings I have been to.  They are trying to get into their very own chapel soon.

We were able to go on a game drive early Saturday morning.  We saw lots of animals: jackal, cape buffalo, elephants, kudu, black sable antelope, and lions and their cubs.  The lions went right in front of our truck and it was so cool.  Because it was cooler that morning, the guide said that the lions were more active.

That afternoon we went on a river ride and saw the animals coming to get drinks.  There were lots of elephants and their babies - so cute.  We saw baboons, crocidiles that move fast when you least expect it!!, lots of hippos, birds, buffaloes, and the most incredible sunset.  It was a great expericence.  It was so funny, in town, wart hogs travel all over, just like dogs.  Kasane is a beautiful place.
