Final Post

I am SO sorry it's taken me so long to post!! I arrived back in Dallas on Sunday, and have been trying to adjust with jet lag, emotions, rejection of American food, meeting with people, sharing my experience, etc. The best thing about being back so far has been running- going from 6000 ft altitude in Kenya to 400 ft in Dallas has made running super enjoyable. I feel like I'm walking it's so easy!! Thank you Kenya for giving me less oxygen so when I came back to Dallas I would be able to run a marathon.

Okay, maybe not a marathon, but several miles at least!! Anyway, the last post was before we left for the safari. Saying bye to the interns was so hard, but it couldn't have been timed better. The way the trip ended was laid out perfectly; done in a way that immersed us in American 'culture' better than going straight from ministry to America. We stayed at a lodge in Amboselli, Kenya and right after we got there we went on a safari. I can't tell you how beautiful this thing was. It was sunset, at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro and there were hundreds of elephants, zebras, and other animals just roaming around being... wild animals. I have such a heart for animals- I have loved them since I was little and continue to do so- maybe a little too much since I'm still a vegetarian. But I was just speechless. I connect best with God in nature, I always have!! So this was the epitome of Jesus hanging out with me. PS- did you know that the creators of Lion King went to Kenya for inspiration? No big deal, just hanging out in the same area as the place where Lion King was born... and might I add, they were SPOT ON!!! The way the zebras move, the birds that fly around, the elephants and how they hang out by the watering holes, the wildebeest... it was so amazingly accurate I had to make sure I remembered which came first- lion king or real animals?

Anyway, it was beautiful. The link to photos of this is below- check them out and see what God has created!!

It was an amazing trip. I'm still not 100% sure as to all that happened, and how I grew, but as each day goes I learn more about what I learned. I see how the internship really taught me APPLICATION of what I learn, as well as how we are CALLED to tell people about Jesus. It isn't for some Christians and not others- it is ALL OF US!!! So what makes me more confident in other countries but not America? lack of application. this skill has forever changed my life as well as those I encounter.

I am so grateful to all of you who supported me with prayers as well as financially. The lives that were changed because God placed me in Kenya are all put into place because God put you into place with me. It is amazing to see how God moved so much to make sure I went to Kenya, and radically changed how I understand the Great Commission.

Be looking for one more post, we are writing a little summary story for ACO and I plan to post it here :)
