Or actually our third, considering we have two teams here now. One is currently down in Bongolo and the other is here with us in Libreville. They will be switching places this Saturday. Then we will have a few days next week when both teams are here and have 42 people staying in the house!!
I don't mean to blame teams for my lack of blogging, but when they are here we don't spend much time on the internet because we want to get to know them.
I don't know that I had many expectations of the teams, but I definitely thought that we would be the ones teaching and they would be the ones learning... turns out it really went both ways. A high school student in the first team from Lancaster, PA taught me that we need to let what happens here impact our lives and not let it be just a two week, 3 month, or one year experience… but something that changes who we are.
God is definitely changing who I am - we're still working on Leanne being a servant and not whining about it, still working on not having to have her way all the time, still working on her ability to love and encourage others, so much to work on with Leanne...(okay sorry coming back to first person again)
Every night we do a debrief time with the team and it is neat to hear what they see and how it makes them feel… how God is speaking to them through these experiences…
I love experiencing things with the teams… they see the differences that I have forgotten by now…
