It's Namibia time again
Well for the next two and a half weeks I will be living what many only dream (except for the 18 hour flights I suppose). There's just something about Africa that you can't get away from. They say the African sand mixes with your blood so you have to keep going back. For me, it's more like a calling home, a sense that this is how life should be lived without all the distractions and nothing more than the goal of loving on people. What seems so important to me today will fade to the back of my mind, waiting to be reawakened upon my return. Perhaps Africa is my calling, perhaps America is my calling. But one thing I know, wherever I am, to love is the greatest calling.

16 hours... I cannot believe that we are leaving so soon. I remember when our countdown had 300+ days on it.
As for your thoughts, that's why whenever we get there i never want to come home. You feel completley like you are in God's will like McManus described, and you know that this is everything that God intended for the christian life. And once you find that and discover that, you never want to return to the way you once were. Which is why coming back home is always so hard, you know the distractions will take over eventually. I agree- love is the greatest calling. Still in shock that we leave so soon, but I know it's gonna be another amazing adventure.

PS: If Africa is your calling I don't know what I would do. I would miss you tons!
