Home Sweet Home

Hello! We returned from Africa Sunday night around 10:00 p.m. I am SO sorry that I didn't get to post any during Africa. The only internet access that was available was through Pastor David's phone and it was dial-up. I hope that everyone got a chance to read Jason's blog he wrote when he went into Jinja one day. I haven't even read it yet. Maybe I should?!? Africa was...hmmm....what I expected in ways, and not at all in others. I wasn't prepared for the amount of people, the poverty that was rampant everywhere, the dirtiness, etc. I guess that I was prepared it would have those things, but not to the extent that it was. The people were great, especially the kids. How they loved us! They were always wanting to touch each of us. We would pass by and hear yells of, "Mzungu!" (White person) They would wave and smile. If we were stopped, the children would reach in and try to touch us. They also loved to have their picture taken and then be shown the picture. Adults too. They would just giggle and laugh. It was great! There is so much that happened in Africa. I know it will take forever to fully tell about, and I'm sure I'll leave out many things. Know this...the people are beautiful and they love God. They love God and worship Him without abandonment even in the midst of all the poverty. My life is changed.

Africa Team

Here is our team of 27 adults and students that leave for Africa tomorrow!!! It's hard to believe that it's already here. Today is a day of preparation, packing, and just hanging out. I hope that I can fit everything I need to in my bag. I don't see how at this point. We're not bringing large luggage because of the transfer from the airport to Father's Divine Love Ministry. I feel comfortable in getting every thing finished which should probably make me worried! I'm sure there a ton of details that I have forgotten. I'll try to post more later. Glory to God in the Highest.
