Hi friends and family!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was our official last day on African soil and it has been sad, peaceful, and happy all in one day. We started the day with a game with the girls. It\u2019s called Ready, and it definitely needs to be played in America! We\u2019ll teach you all some time \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a couple of rounds, we worshiped and said our goodbyes. The girls were so sweet and made us picture frames with glued on seashells they found on the beach. Each frame had group pictures from our time at Firefly restaurant. They also gave us sweet handmade letters. As we learned from our time with the first group, long goodbyes are hard. We kept this goodbye short and sweet, but there were still many tears. I know when I speak for all of us that these girls will live in our memories and our hearts forever! Being their first Jessup team proved to be an amazing experience for both the girls and us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After goodbyes were had, the Jessup team had a shopping spree at the local mall. However, shopping could only occur after food was eaten, so our fieldworker took us to a nice Thai and sushi restaurant. The food was INCREDIBLE! We shopped the local shops and did our best to bargain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are currently now waiting at our fieldworkers\u2019 beautiful beach house for our 4:50am Istanbul flight. The camp fire is blazing and we had delicious burgers and fries for dinner. We are so excited to be home with you all, but we have one more adventure in Turkey before we are there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you Jumatatu (Monday)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mom and Dad, tell Girly I love her and I\u2019ll be back soon!!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
