Rhino Spotting

Greetings! We were very fortunate to see four rhinos on our last drive in Kruger this morning. We have seen all of the big five animals which is very special. We parted ways with Becky, Heather and Hallee this noon. They have headed back to Bulembu for an extra week. Chris left on Friday back to her homebase ministry in Swaziland and the rest of us (8) are having a lovely last night at the Arches Guest House in Nelspruit, South Africa. The owner, Sue, is treating us like family. She made a lovely vegetable pasta for dinner and the rest of the crew is having coffee and dessert with her as I write this.
Becky has done an amazing job for us as the organizer for this trip. The logistics have been very difficult but have gone perfectly smoothly thanks to her advance planning. We are so blessed to have her as a leader.
We ask for your continued prayers as we begin to process all that we have experienced. Some of us will probably need some "half way house" or "detox" kind of quiet time when we get home as so much has touched our hearts during our journey and we are sad to be leaving the children behind.
We start home tomorrow at 9:15 p.m for our long trek home. We look forward to returning to our loved ones and church family. Jane
