Update #5 East Africa

Vipi!!! (What’s up)

Today was absolutely incredible!
We started it off with some of the girls in the transition house who were older. They all shared their testimony of going to Christianity from Islam. We were so moved by their courage and strength in that process.

Afterwards we went to a waterfall hike with the primary girls who are younger and were so fun. The hike was very wet, muddy, slippery, definitely almost died (I’m ok mom). But was totally worth all of it. The hike was beautiful the people were so friendly and we then walked over to where they make arabica coffee grounds and beans. As a coffee lover, I was ecstatic.

Then we came back to the cafe to eat dinner and our team had a touching moment to talk about some of the moments we had with the girls and a lot of emotions were had.
By the time we had eaten the team was in the delusional phase of tiredness and could not stop laughing.

Today was amazing, although we’re all super sad to be leaving the girls from the first house tomorrow.

Waheli! (Bye)

    I love how you guys have connected with the girls in such a short period. I know you’re having an amazing impact on their lives in the same way they’ve impacted yours! Praying the Lord continues to surround you all and bless the rest of your time there!
