It was a good time of prayer and the men showed great concern for conflict issues in Kenya.
Following the study, we dropped the car off for cleaning and then Max and I went for chai at Venus while waiting.
After returning with the car, we settled back home, did some administration and began packing our bags ready for the trip home.
Abbey and Rodney made a delicious lunch of leftovers and then began preparing dinner.
We cleaned and relaxed. Some slept and others reminisced and wrote. It is somewhat sad that we are heading home so soon, but at the same time, it will be good to see family again.
After eating dinner, we were invited to the Stover's house for dessert. It was very nice and the conversation with Roy, Helen and Pat was enjoyable.
Logan was particularly taken with their golden labrador, and he spent a large part of the evening hugging and scratching the dog.
We walked home for a time of sharing and games, before heading to bed.
Sounds like a good opportunity to process all that's been happening (although I imagine writing this blog has been helpful in that regard too).
ReplyDeleteMixed emotions indeed. You've clearly made some great connections in Eldama Ravine.
And yet another entry in Logan's Kenyan animal collection!
PS I was reading the Mara posts to the kids and realised I forgot to register with you my vicariously tense reaction to the scenario of trying to fix a car while two people look out for lions!
PS Sadly I won't be anywhere near Auckland when you return but pray you all have a safe and peaceful journey home.

Thanks Lara. We had a fabulous time, and we did return home safely. It is great to see the family again - even if we think that the trip should have been longer.
