I am sitting on the eve of the last night in Rundu as I know it.
I can not barely believe this is my last evening… it has not set in.
Over the last few weeks I have felt extremely blessed.
Most of the time we are so involved in people’s lifes;
we are so closely connected to the ups and downs, the drama, the good-n-bad that we really do not know if our actions are making an impact on other people.
Saying goodbyes sadly but truly remind me why I moved here and why I have loved it.
I will miss Rundu, Namibia.
It has changed my life forever.

travels
Friends and Family,
I'm time in Africa is going to start to get a bit hecktic. I counted the number of day trips I will be having between now and August... around nine... not including the flight home of two days. It will be comberson!

June 23 - my parents arrive
June 24 - return to Rundu
June 24-29 - in Rundu with my parents
June 30 - return to Victoria Falls area
July 1 - rest
July 2 - travel to Luskia
July 2-18 -Team Zamibia in Luskia (with the Zebells)
July 19-20 -Victoria Falls
July 20 - parents retun to U.S.
July 21- return to Rundu
July 21 - 25 - rest in Rundu, collect my things and say goodbyes
July 26- travel to Windhoek

Please pray for safety and speedy travels. It can be very tiresome to travel in Africa... and long. Pray that I will not get lonely on these trips. Traveling long distences alone is not that fun.
Pray that I will be able to meet friends and have some good conversations on the road.
Pray that have smooth border crossings and no troubles with customs.

Baggage
Baggage
Physical: When you travel you realize exactly how much stuff you have. You become keenly aware of the weight of your baggage. If you are flying overseas you spend hours planning exactly what you will take making sure that it will be just a little bit less then the allowed amount.
Emotional: I do not think I need to give examples of emotional baggage we carry around! You are very aware of many of the emotions you feel – often wishing you could just hide from them. Still this baggage returns time and time again.
Spiritual: Often we have misconstrued conceptions of God and life plus how we are related. Whether we realize it or not we often lug spiritual baggage.
If someone has a formula to give me of how to carry around less baggage… I would love to hear it! Although I am doubtful that any self-help book will help!
So that leads me to…Pray. Pray. Pray. Pray.
