We Don't Miss Our Families

Welp. Things have been going very well here! I'm not really sure how to describe our trip in a little post, but it's beautiful. I've gotten to see the sun rise and set everyday, except on the rainy days, but the sky just ends up reconciling itself with distant lightning. Not all of Africa is brown. It is very green here. The people are incredible. People laugh often and genuinely here. They just laugh when they're happy, not when someone cracks some wise remark. Everyone is very welcoming, very friendly, and eager to talk. Staying at the secondary school, we've gotten to have several reading sessions with the students. Many of these students have amazing stories and amazing faith in their Creator. I was told that over 50 of the students are orphans, but that does not hinder their love for Christ. After a reading session I had with one of the boys this morning, he told me "Wow, I love this. Can we start doing this all the time?" It is so wonderful to see that God truly is omnipresent, and that his love and his people are not just in America, Israel, or any one place. With two weeks left, we are cherishing our time here.

We love everyone who has been supporting us, especially our families (which includes many of our friends). We miss you dearly, but decided not to put it into the title so that you'd freak out and actually read our post.
