Truly, 'The Final Countdown'....2 weeks.

Well, 2 weeks left at Smile Africa. To be honest I never thought this time would come. Before leaving 8 months seemed SO FAR away and now we are talking about all the different things we were doing to get ready to come to Africa. Talking with people, being overwhelmed with the thought of leaving family and friends for "so long", and all the change that has come with it. To be honest again, I am ready to come home. I love the people here, the kids, and the work we do but knowing that school is ahead and what I will study is where my heart is, I am ready for that next step.
We have been so busy the last couple weeks and are even busier these next two weeks. We are being invited over to everyone's home, trying to have one last meal together, "The Last Supper", they are calling it, haha. It has been a blessed time of sharing meals together, saying goodbye, thanking them for their kind hospitality and friendship. I have not begun to think about what it will be like to leave the kids, I can't.
I am excited to just play with the kids outside for the last couple weeks. Soaking in the precious moments of all the funny things they say and do and to share God's love with them as much as I can before I leave.

Below are a few pictures of recent happenings...daily life!

Sarah and I seeing our reflection through Joseph's helmet on our way home :)

Bosko playing a type of yoyo rolling game with this tire....all the kids do it!

Hi ya!

Where'd the babies go....oh yeah they all crawled to the corner and were hiding! Found them! Esther is acting as if I can't see her, Blessing (middle) is like "What am I not supposed to be hiding?", and Paulo is laughing haha!

Sweet Sweet, Aluwo!

This was Richard's expression to me after he peed on me and I said "Ah, Richard!" Who should really be upset...me or him? haha

Joyce is pretending to be a teacher, teaching all the babies! 

This crew was walking in this line around Smile. They, like all kids, are very creative!
