Out of Africa

Mission Accomplished
Originally uploaded by yo_paully.
Well it's our last night in Africa, and we are all a feeling a range of emotions from accomplishment to a bit of sadness, as all of us are going to miss our daily adventures in Malawi. Tonight's entry will be a short one as we've got to leave the house no later than 3:30 am to catch our flight to Ethiopia.
Today we had a great day! We had the opportunity to share a meal with the guys that we worked with over the past two weeks. We ate, we sang (we sang bad, they sang good), we talked, we shared and we said our good-byes.
Below are some thoughts that we were chatting about:
Building...
... relationships
... hope
... awareness
... respect
... understanding
... faith
... compassion
... a legacy
... friendships
... futures
... and a home.
This is the end of the first chapter in Africa. There will be more to come.
See you all soon!

I'm so greatful that my kids will have such incredible role models to look up too. When you guys first told us that you were going to Africa, I thought you guys were crazy, but I have to tell you I'm amazed at what you have accomplished.Now get home safe and sound.

P.S. Paul, not that you've been following but team Canada beat Slovakia in the quater finals and now go on to face the Russians in the semis on Saturday.
God bless you all. We are sure that your lives will never be the same again. I praise God for your work of faith and courage. Another important Chapter in your lives has been written. God be praised.
We pray for journeying mercies for you all.
