Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there! This may be the last post you will see before we come home, but we may have wifi at the Safari...not sure yet.
Thank you Jill for getting photos from Cindy from the Kajaido group. They are all doing fine although we really haven't gotten any details because phone reception is very bad there but we've talked enough to know everyone is well.
Those of us in Machakos had a wonderful last day at various churches. Then we went to the Woodcarvers Village for the afternoon. We ran out of light and so were unable to go the the Mwania riverbed, which is too bad because it is really a geologic wonder and we like for the students to see it when possible. Anyway, we got back just in time for dinner. Then we had all of the Scott interpreters, guides, driver, cook, etc. come up and pick out some of the donated clothes and items. We are so thankful for all their help. It really makes it so nice to have a friendly person along with us to make sure we don't get lost and translate for us. There were about 20 guides in all.
Tonight, we are packing and heading to bed. The jeeps will be at both locations tomorrow morning ready to leave at 6 a.m. Four jeeps will be coming here for the group still at Scott, and 3 to pick up the Kajaido group. We will meet at the safari lodge and enjoy a couple of days of relaxation before we come home. It is a great time for the students to finally have some time to reflect on everything they have just seen and experienced. It makes a little buffer for the culture shock when they get home and realize how much differently we live as Americans than a good part of the rest of the world.
Thank you so much for all your prayers. This has been a fantastic trip. The students have been a complete joy! Every one of them has been so helpful and kind and willing to step out of their comfort zones in many different ways. You should be so proud of them.
Please pray for safety as we return home and we hope to see everyone Thurs. at the airport!
In Christ,
Jenni Millet for the group
