Update 7

Sasa!


I am writing to you once again from the Strand Hotel in Nairobi. We are all in the process of getting clean (or as clean as we can) before loading the plane to head home. Our time during the last three days in Ngaamba has been one that we will all treasure forever. Being able to stay there over night and fully experience life in Ngaamba has been amazing. We have an even higher respect for the people and the impact that they make on their community.



Yesterday, we were paired up as team members and we spend the day with Ngaamba families. While we all had different experiences of what we did during the day, all of us were blown away by what it takes to run a normal day in Ngaamba. The people of Ngaamba are not shy of working hard. They put their heart and soul into everything they do - from worshipping to cooking to farming to retrieving water. Our team was put to shame (again!) by Ngaamba's resilience and resourcefulness.



We can not wait to share with you once we get home our experience here. We are all looking forward to time on the plane to process all that God has changed in our hearts. There are so many things that are hard to put into words, but we want our lives to look different from before once we come home. God has truly done amazing things in us and for us while we have been away.



Thank you for your continued prayers throughout this week. Thank you for praying for our safe travels home. And, most of all, thank you for being a part of our journey.



See you soon!

Amber
