My last posting in Africa for this year I believe, today is the last day in J-Bay, then tomorrow we are taking off super early and driving the hopefully less than 16 hour drive back to Alabanza to pack and get ready for our flight on Friday. Thursday we'll go into town one more time to do some last minute shopping and whatever else. So if you could pray for all our vehicles that would be awesome, and that they wouldn't break down. Oh and if you could keep in your prayers, Luke, Teressa, Denise, and Melissa, they are remaining in J-Bay for Break, pray for their sanity, that it would remain with them, and their time with each other, they are going to be staying in the J-Bay FYM house, which is nice b/c it's an actual house, but they will pretty much be the only ones there for the entire month.
So the last few days were kind cool, it was debrief time, so Saturday we spent time by ourselves going over questions that helped us process the time we've spent here in Africa, then Sunday, we had beach olympics, which consisted of Kenya vs. Swazi vs. Team Leaders, lets just say that we didn't win, but it was fun, I'll post pictures of that when I get back, then Monday we went to an Elephant park and got to see a bunch of elpehants, there weren't any that chased after us but still neat, and a bunch of buffalo, and some turtles, and Deer creature, it was fun. Today it was team debrief, where we just debriefed with each other how things went for the last 3 months as a team, then got the afternoon off.

If you could keep us all in your prayers as we fly out on Friday at 8pm, then go to Germany where we have a layover of 4or5 hours (so much better than our 16 one on the way coming over...)then into Atlanta, where we get in around 2 in the afternoon on the 15th. After that i stay in atlanta until the 17th and fly out at 6 in the morning and get home to FBX at 1 in the morning on teh 18th, so pray for my sanity, and that we won't kill each other on the flights, and that everything gets home, and that the flights make it on time and what not.

Well thank you from here in Africa, I hope that I've represented you well while I've been in Safrica, and that you have and will reap the rewards of the work you've supported me in while I've been here. I can't wait to see many of you in person, and get to tell you all of the stories and exciting times, and those of you that I don't I hope that we can keep in touch via email etc.
