Today the majority of the group returned to New York. Trey and Sherry extended their trip in East London to do more service work, and Elizabeth headed to Mozambique to visit her friend in the Peace Corp. Pray for their safe return later this week.
Our trip ended with us not wanting to leave, but we finished with a bang. We closed out Friday's Holiday Club with 87 kids who each had a lot of energy. At recreation, we ended the week with water games...let's just say I walked away the wettest (thanks to Elizabeth turning her team game into "get Jeremy"). The week was a huge success in thanks to the fantastic partnership between the Journey and First City. Can't wait to hear about all of the great things that will continue to emerge afterwards.
Friday night we headed to the local rugby game, and then back to FCBC for a braai (a cookout for us Americans). We celebrated a week well done, and then prepared for our 24 hour journey back to the States.
Now that most of us are back safe and sound and ready to head to work tomorrow, we are grateful for the time spent, your support and the overall experience of the trip. We can't wait to see what God will do with the time and resources we've invested. Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
