6/22/09 Safari

We have all just finished the first day of our safari adventure. We drove from our hotel in Arusha this morning to Lake Manyara – and have been VERY well taken care of by Alexis since we left camp. Last night we had dinner with our group plus Alexis and Jackie, Martin, James, Wande, Hannah and Zack (all on YL staff). I am amazed every time I have conversations with them about their lives. I absolutely love the people here and the way they care for one another and invest their time in relationships. It’s actually been kind of sad to move from camp to a nice Arusha hotel, simply because we are no longer spending time with the friends that we made. What a blessing it has been to learn firsthand about the culture in Tanzania and other parts in Africa. I am so drawn to the simplicity that runs throughout life here. It allows so much room for God to work and so much time to invest in people. Thanks again for all of your prayers – camp this past week was the smoothest Alexis has ever seen it go! He was pumped, and we saw many prayers were answered. Many blessings.

The conclusion to camp was amazing. It was so humbling to even witness such a huge work of the Lord. To all supporters, both financial and prayerful, just know that your assistance has literally transformed lives. I wish you could see as we have seen. This whole process has been divine. Prayer for continual health and safety would be awesome! See you all super soon!

PS- Happy Father’s Day E-ness! You are beyond words to me and I love you so much.
