change.

This is my last blog post from Kenya, it is bittersweet. Today was my last full day at Teule and I cannot believe still how fast time has gone here. We took the kids to Amboseli National Park today and saw so many animals, it was so fun to be with the kids and hear how excited they were! We spent the whole day driving around seeing elephants, hippos, monkeys, hyenas, water buffalo, gazelles, and zebras. It was a good way to say goodbye to Kenya. Tonight as we finished with devotions, some of the kids sang me a song and then came up and said thank you and how much they loved me. I felt so incredibly blessed to be a part of this whole thing. I feel like I say that in ever post, and that is what I told my kids tonight. That I know they think that I have blessed them by being here, but truly it is them who have blessed me. Every day with them has been a blessing and I have felt so happy since the moment I was back in Kenya. Leaving tomorrow will be so hard, I am not sure when it will sink in that I won't be waking up to Bobby outside my window calling my name, or hearing Risper talk, or my baby David smiling. I told them that even though I am thousands of miles away, I am never that far. I will be always praying for them and I will be back soon. That is not an empty promise either. I am going home early to be with my family, my wonderful grandfather died last Thursday from what felt like a short battle with renal cancer. He is home now though, and he was my biggest supporter of me being here. He even got to skype with some of my kids a month ago and I am so thankful he got to see them. As I leave the blogging world, I am so thankful for all the support, prayers, and love everyone has given the past 4months! Thank you for supporting me and allowing me to be here.
