A Look at the Newest Country in the Whole Wide World!







Recently, Jon and I were able to take a trip with Mango Ministries to South Sudan!  We had been asked about a year ago to be part of this ministries board and this was the first opportunity that we had to be able to go.  You can become more familiar with Mango Ministries through it's blog called A Journey With Joy.
"So, how was your trip?" You ask.  Thanks for asking.  Get ready for some pretty interesting stuff and a lot of pictures!



Let me begin with the catagory: The Land...

On the border of Kenya and South Sudan, these are Turkana houses.

Wouldn't you LOVE to be able to say, " Yes, well, I live on an island in the middle of the Nile River"


We got there at the end of the rains, so the grass was TALL!  At least a foot taller than me..be impressed!

I loved this house!

This family lived near the shops, so they made good use of discarded tins.


This is the animal house on this little plot.  The whole thing just made me happy to look at.




The only bridge over the Nile River in all of South Sudan.

Almost every compound had their own United Nations blue plastic!
Living on one side of the Nile.

Making the most of US Aid oil tins!


I love this! The entire roof was constructed of flattened out oil tins from the US Aid food distribution agency.


Stay Tuned for Part Two! The People!
