The library that smells like camp and memories in Pearl River. I love this room.
Me and Mick (my boss/advisor/friend/contact/and supplier of really great jokes...)
I had to dance and sing with Christy and Paloma one more time (:
Playing Rugby...Stephen got smoked.
Talon and Ilario in their matching robes--the girls had lilac terry cloth ones....So cute!
Nicky took this one of Hayley at our daycamp at the Youth Center...what a beautiful little child.
Me and the girls before I left.
Some of the girls in our Youth Group at ESK church.
Me, Larissa, and Elreda during our girl's night (Stephen was the lucky photographer for our impromptu photo shoot)...They brought me more joy than I can say.
The men all dressed up for the Mother's Day service at church. Jerome (far right) is the Youth Director.
Well, I realize it's been about a month since I got home and just as long since my last post...for which I apologize. It was--as expected--crazy to arrive home and begin the fun journey of visiting friends, family, and favorite places. I was able to spend a week in Minneapolis apartment hunting and spending wonderful time with friends and then go up to Camp Vermilion for a week and a half to help out and spend time in the place that I probably missed the most while I was in Namibia. Both trips were great, and now I am preparing to move to the cities next week so that I'm ready to begin my job at Target on July 13. I will post more thorough accounts of my final weeks in Rehoboth once I'm moved but for now, I just wanted to say THANK YOU so so very much to all of you who have read my blog, prayed for me, supported me financially, supported me emotionally, asked me questions, looked at pictures, sent me notes, and loved me through it all! It was one of the most incredible, life-changing experiences of my 23 years, and I am humbled and grateful that God allowed me to go through it. As I said, I will write more and also plan to continue this blog with my new "adult" life and whatever adventures that brings my way--so keep visiting if you'd like to read my thoughts on life back in good old Minnesota (:
I posted some pictures from my final days in Namibia and will also put up bigger albums on Facebook if you want to see more! Let's be FB friends.
Thank you again! I love and appreciate you!
