The kids had their last day of school today from 8am to 11am. They have learned so much in the last 3 months it has been awesome. We’ve had comments from others about how much they have changed.

While they were in class we had a meeting from 9 to 11 with our team. We found out the plan for next week so we know when our bags need to be packed. We leave campus at 6:30pm on Wednesday. Whew! Crazy. Then we had a great time of talking about our fears and expectations for Africa. One of the more common fears (mine too) was that we would get all the way to Africa and just miss it. Miss how God wants us to lead us; who he wants us to touch; let fear get in our way. So we talked about it and prayed for boldness and obedience. We also brought up how we need to really be unified as a team and not afraid. For instance: I am fairly new to the idea of hearing God’s voice when we pray. I’ve prayed all of my life, but never actually listened much (sad, I know). But I’ve had several times in prayer when I really felt God gave me a picture, or a verse, or a word and I’ve held it back from the team. While explaining this to the team I used an example of how last time we met I had a picture of a steep, pyramid like roof with a cross on top. I can still picture it. I felt foolish telling
