Yes we saw the sunshine today!
Today we toured a university campus with some of our friends. Our guides from the univeristy told us about the school and the degrees offered. We heard about the national exam graduated high school students take to attend. Only about a third of those who graduate high school are able to attend.
Our purpose for being on campus was greater, to walk and pray. We learned as a group how easily we can be distracted by life happening around us. We made many observations of the campus and discussed how we can remain centered to our purpose. Tomorrow we will spend time on another univeristy campus.
We traveled across the river for the last time (by ourselves without our friends!) to shop. We did our shopping and found out who in our group could barter and who was a bit shy. And tonight we ate cheap and American at good ole McDonalds. I think most of us are ready to return to native food!
Our time is winding down. We read the other blogs and see how different our experience is from the others. We have learned a great deal but it will take time for it to soak in. Thank you for your support.
PS We are thankful more than ever that our public places back home are smoke free!

Tessa and David,
Great to hear all you guys are doing. Praying for you all and those you will come in contact with. Can not wait to hear about your experiences and see more pictures. Enjoy the last days and we will see you soon.
In Christ,

Dearest Krissy, I imagine you and Allyson and the rest of the Team prayer-walking. You've no idea what great things might come from those prayers, so, focus on your prayers. It's hard work, and distractions are constant. As you pray, thank God also for what He will do in response to your specific prayers. I'm certain it's BIG, because we serve & pray to a BIG God. I love you sweetheart! I'm proud of you, and pray constantly for you all. Lovingly, Lu.
Allyson and Kelsea,
We've been reading the blogs twice a day, following this journey with you. We are praying for you and your team. We love you both :)
Allyson, God is using you to teach the young people in your care lessons about our Savior and His power that will be remembered forever. They are learning so much as they serve Him that we couldn't teach them at home. As a parent I can't thank you enough for that. I pray that they will absorb as much as possible and that they will be changed forever because of it. Thank you.
Hi City Team,
It sounds like going to the refugee center was an amazing way to show God's love and to see it! I can just see you guys cradling those kids in your arms and playing games with them! What a Chance to be in on the "Harvest"! We are praying for you all and thanking God for His love and care for those kids and Moms, through you! God Bless You All! Tess, I can't wait to hear about the old, old, old place you went! We are enjoying the pictures so much! Thanks!
Love, Mom and Dad!
Kate...
God bless you for what you are doing and for what you have taken on. I know mom and dad are a little worried, but they will get over it. You are in for the time of your life. I have a friend that was on a mission trip to South Africa last year and he really had a great time. He was very excited to share the stories and the people he met and and I know this is something you will carry with you for the rest of your life. We are very proud of you. Watch out for the lions.
Love, Uncle Stan, Aunt Robyn, Kelsey and Kara
Hey AC- I put pictures up on FB of the party. I hope your Wed. is going well and that you all are learning a lot from all that you observe as well as all that God is teaching you. Cannot wait to hear about all of your experiences!

Glad to hear you saw the sun finally! Hoping many locals will also see the SON thru your presence in their City! So looking forward to hearing all about the blessings when you return.
