Tuesday Update

The 2nd day serving at Endana was really productive. Everyone seemed to really find their groove today. Team members were using their gifts at the clinic, building the library, teaching in classrooms, and just loving on kids. We are worn out, but it is a good tired.

One of the sweetest parts of this trip has been the deepening of relationships from last year. There is a true friendship and partnership developing here. For example, Jennifer M. really connected with a woman named Ann. Ann now works and lives in a different community far away, but when she found out that Jennifer was with our team, she took the day off from work, paid for a taxi, and walked an hour and a half each way just to reconnect. There are lots of other stories of growing friendships and I know there will be more. It is a beautiful picture of the body of Christ living and working together in unity.

Tomorrow, the team will cut off work a little early and head to Sweetwater for a safari. We even got an early taste of the local wildlife on our way back to the hotel today when our bus driver chased down a wild ostrich.

Thanks to all for your prayers. God is truly doing something special here.

Aaron
