We drive away from Namwianga Mission in exactly one week. This semester has come to an early end. It's honestly hard to imagine life outside of Africa now that I've been so absorbed with everything it is for the past two months. If you ask me my favorite thing about the semester, I'll have to rack my brain for a while to pick just one thing, so maybe you should be thinking of a different question. :)
We are headed to Uganda and Rwanda Tuesday, the 4th. We leave the mission around 11 in the morning and drive to Livingstone where we'll fly to Johannesburg, South Africa and stay the night, and then the next day fly on to Entebbe, Uganda. I don't know a lot of what is going on those two weeks, but I'll be sure to let you know in person! We'll have zero access to anyone outside of who we'll be with for those two weeks, so prepare yourself. I know I've been preparing myself for that. Among the two weeks we'll be white water rafting the Nile River, visiting churches adn encouraging them, vising the Rwanda Genocide Memorial in Kigali and so many other things. We will be staying with missionaries in their homes or in hotels. It should be a fun, relaxed, education two weeks! And then not much longer after that, I'll be back on Harding's campus, ready to take on the American culture, the new me, and everything in between.
The Zambians are some of the most real and gentle people I will probably ever know. I hope to bring them back with me in my actions towards all of you. Please pray for our team and our safety as we travel through Uganda and Rwanda in the next couple of weeks and for our safe return home. I do miss home, but part of my home is now in Africa...it's a bittersweet goodbye to be sure.
Take care and I'll see you very soon!
