This past week was my last week in Alexandria. In my mind I thought I was going to just be able to spend tons of time hanging out with the kids, and while I was able to do some of that, I spent most of my time running around trying to get one thing or another done before I left. I got everything done, but it was more chaotic than I would have liked. In the end, it was still good. Im now going to be traveling with a team coming from the States with Oceans of Mercy until about Nov. 30 and then I leave Dec. 1. While the team is here we will be traveling around to the various places Oceans supports, including JJ. So I will be able to see the kids one last time before I actually leave SA. Leaving is mostly bittersweet. Im excited to see what God has for me when I get back but I am sad to leave the kids and the people I have grown closest with in the community. They all will always have a special place in my heart. Enjoy the photos!
