Goodbye, farewell, I'll see you in a while!


So... 5 hours before we leave for the airport.
Our whole team is getting ready to go, and about half of them are in denial. Nathan wants a pizza. He hasn’t changed a whole lot. He says he shaved though...



Last week we were able to go on a Safari. We saw one giraffe, zebras, baboons and hippos. It was a really fun time, but it was really really squishy. We were in a small van, and there was 4 people per row where there would normally just be 3... well, in Canada that is. At one point, Noel, who was doing some camera work in the park there, got out to get a video of a big baboon. All of a sudden the baboon came running at them and the three guys standing in the door of the van started freaking out and were trying to get into the van all at once. Meanwhile, that baboon jumped into the van window in the front. That’s where our tour guide was sitting. She held up her jacket and clubbed the baboon until he hopped back out. They’re really intimidating. Dillon was commenting the other day that as we drove away from the baboon, he said to it, ‘Bad Baboon’... to which the Baboon looked at him and scratched his armpit. Goofy Baboons.
I found out that mosquitoes still really love me here. They know I’m leaving soon so they have been snacking on me more than normal.
I loathe mosquitoes.

Ministry wise this week we haven’t done as much. We’ve been trying to rest... trying being the key word.
