Wow, being at AMCC really has felt like a mission trip this
time! It’s been really hard and really good. As a “team,” we’ve had our moments
of tension and also of feeling like we’re doing really good. We both feel content
and spiritually enlivened after our time here. It will be hard to say goodbye
to the children, but we have many good memories to take with us, like the
Christmas party yesterday! And playing soccer and Frisbee in the field at the
local elementary school. And teaching the children a lot of different songs.
(The theme song is “Prince of Peace” with the men’s’ and women’s separate parts.)
But we are also quite ready for some comforts of home like warm showers and not
having to go for a long walk in the night, unlocking a door and going
downstairs outside, if I need to use the loo. We are both satisfied with what’s
been accomplished during the three weeks we’ve been here. Praise God! (Amazing
how I can have a conversation with a grandmother that includes only “Thank you”,
“Praise the Lord”, and “Amen”.) J
We leave tomorrow (Sunday) from Nairobi, will have a 12 hour
layover in Johannesburg (going out to see the city), then to DC, then Austin,
arriving on Tuesday a bit before noon. Can’t wait to see family!

We love AMCC!
