Update - March 28

Hello everybody! I hope you are doing well and that the Lord is blessing your lives. We only have 3 days left here, and we are so excited to come home. We miss you all so much.

Leaving this place will be emotional. Here, we have met the most amazing people and have been spiritually transformed. God saturates every inch of this place. We hope and pray that we can carry this passion in our hearts for the rest of our lives.

This afternoon, a group of us came back from a safari in a place called Masai Mara. It was AMAZING!!! We saw the coolest animals. We were within a couple of meters of lions, giraffes, hippos, baboons, hyenas, buffalos, antelopes, gazelles, elephants, crocodiles, cheetahs and mongeese! We were even lucky enough to see a leopard on a tree with a gazelle it just caught! Christine and I took almost a thousand photos, so I need time to go through them and post the ones that are gold! We stayed in really really cool tents, with hardwood floors, a queen sized bed, a bathroom and a shower! We were so impressed! God really blessed our trip. We love you Jesus!

Speaking of Jesus, He has totally blessed our return to Calgary. We both had this dream of getting part-time jobs so that we could dedicate more time to serving. Well, we both got our old jobs back part-time!!! It was so amazing! We shared our dream with God and I guess He liked it because He did all the work! Thank you Lord Jesus, we are excited to see what You have in store for us.

We leave Kenya on April 1. We spend 9 days in Egypt, then 4 days in London where we'll celebrate an early 2 year anniversary, then off to Calgary on April 13. We asked our jobs if we could start on April 20 in order to be able attend all the Holy Week services at Church, and they agreed :)

God is amazing,
JC
