debriefing

We have finished our debriefing at the Masai Mara national reserve and are now killing some time before the flight home. You can pray that we will be able to rest and even sleep on the flight - a number of us find that difficult to do.
Our conversations were great as we reflected on our time here in Kenya. Many funny, sad and lasting memories were made in just this short period of time. We also talked about what the future holds, both in terms of our personal lives and in regards to the Kenya project. We are all excited about this partnership and we will have much that we will want to share with you when we return. We also look forward to hearing how the last 12 days have been in Madison or wherever you may live.
The safari was amazing. As we drove into a herd of at least 50 elephants we realized this is a lot different than being in a zoo. We also witnessed two instances of lions resting next to the carcass of last night's prey. The stench juxtaposed with the majesty of the lions was a remindder of both the beauty and violence of this world. Here in Kenya we have seen the wonderful beauty of people committed to following Christ in the midst of a violent and oppresive world. Thanks again for being a part of this safari in our lives (Safari is the Swahili word for journey.)
