Wow! time has flown by there are only two weeks leftof the lecture portion of my school then I will be headed home for Christmas break! I cant believe how quickly it is all going :0 This past week we were learning about spiritual warfare and about Africa. We talked about the importance of good relationships in the teachings on warfare. When we were learning about Africa we talked with the founders of thousandth homes which is a ministry that works in southern Africa and there goal is to build homes for vulnerable and orphaned children in Africa. They where sharing with us the importance of building a home and not just a house for people.( if you want to know more check out http://tenthousandhomes.org/) We also talked about the stereotypes people believe about Africa and talked about the realty of what Africa is like. One thing we did is, everyone on the team going to Africa went around and shared what they were excited for and what they hoped for going to Africa and mine was that I cant wait go and spend time with the people work with them and eat with them and just live life with them also i want to learn what real compassion is. To come along side someone else and walk with them and not pity, to put yourself in a higher/better postition then another and i do not want to do that. This is my hope in going to Africa. I cant wait to see you all when i come back for Christmas. Here we set up a little Christmas tree in our room and it is helping all of us get in the Christmas spirit especially since i am not used to it being this warm in December 🙂 hahha Here is a picture of our tree I love you all and merry Christmas
