back in nairobi

well, today we traveled from arusha to nairobi and we've arrived safely.

our last couple of days in tanzania went really well. we did a lot of last minute work on the church. yesterday, the church in majengo had a tree planting ceremony for us. we each planted a tree at the work site and the whole church came out to watch.. that was a really nice way of kind of completing things. we squeezed in a lot of house visits in these last couple of days as well... lots of families wanted to have us over before we left... each family showing sooooo much hospitality towards us all.

it was hard for alicia and i to leave our family today.. you can tell the whole mood of our entire team has kind of changed... no one is ready to go. we're going to have these two days of debriefing so hopefully that will prepare our hearts a bit more... we are all praying!

it's been so nice to hear from you all through email and messages... i'm glad to hear that things are going well... i'm sad/ excited to say that i've filled up all my memory space on my camera so i have about 1000 pictures to share when i get home.

i'll see you all very soon.. stay safe!
xoxo
