It's hard to believe our 9 month trip has almost come to a close.  Yesterday was our last official day of ministry here in Jeffrey's Bay.  The team finished hard and strong.  Both after-school programs concluded their year with a carnival for the kids complete with a duck pond, popcorn, beanbag toss, cake-walk, and of course tye-dye t-shirts!  It was crazy, but oh so fun! We've also had guests over for dinner every night this week to say thank you and goodbye. We're all exhausted, but I'm glad.  If we weren't tired, I'd say we haven't worked hard enough!

We leave for our debrief time in Capetown this morning for about 6 days.  We return to JBay May 10.  Our debrief time includes lots of fun activities - Table Mountain, V&A Waterfront, and hopefully Robben Island.  We'll also have a lot of time to think, process and reflect on what this year has meant to us and how God has changed us.  There are a lot of emotions after a trip like this and believe it or not, going back to America isn't as easy as you think it is. 

Please pray for our debrief in Capetown that our team could effectively process this last year, that we could make some last bonding memories and that we could simply breath out all the stress and breath in the fresh breath of God. 

Thank you for all your support.  We will update you when we get back, if not while we are in Capetown.
