Wow....THANK YOU! Its so good to see some, ok, well, a TON, of pictures! Finish this trip strong, you guys! You've got a whole lot of people in the US praying for you who can't wait to see you when you get back! Mark and Zac...I hope this experience has been (and continues to be) everything you two hoped for. Its amazing to me to think that just four months ago, you were kicking around the idea of going on this trip, and now, you're just a few days away from the end of it. I know you're all probably exhausted, but take heart, find strength in the Lord, and be encouraged!

Also, found this nugget of goodness the other day and thought it was quite relevant for you all:

‎...seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless...Isaiah 1:17

Love ya!

You are all an inspiration to each of us back home. We love you all and are continually praying for you and the time you have left...may it continue to surprise and delight you.

Mark...your dad and I miss you so much! We are anxiously awaiting to hear every detail! We love you very much Mark and are praying for you! Remember "no regrets"!

Zac...love the picture of you with the boy and the guitar...your smile tells the story! Uncle Marty and I love you very much!

Andrea-

So life in the states just isn't the same without you, and the more I think about it the more I realize that once you return YOUR life in the states won't be the same anymore. Like Amanda, I caught myself about to call you. I cannot wait for your joyous return where we share stories back and forth and you explain the stories behind the photos. I am so full of questions about your trip. What was the craziest thing you ate? Did you have any wildlife run-ins? Were you again told about your "pockets of rebellion?" Did you run at all in the plateaus or desert? Did you really do P90X at all or did y'all give up by the end of the trip? Did God blow your mind with the conversations you had with the team and with the people? Do you think that there is a child that because of the joy and learning you brought will one day be inspired to do the same for others? What did your trip inspire in you and your many facets in life? As you can see, I have a ton of questions that I am excited to hear the answers to.

In other news your husband is keeping his composure, but he misses you desperately. Please come back safely and soundly. And please tell me you packed that baby with your belongings.

Awaiting your return with lots of prayer, excitement, and keystone state love,

Rach

Oh Dave and I went and saw David Fick perform at an open mic night. Thought of you when he did a song based on his second graders. "Sorry I made you laugh during our morning meeting."

I recognize some of the places you guys are in your pictures and it makes me so jealous. I was talking to Breanna Gardner and she told me all the kids on Mark's choir were freaking out calling Zac Justin Beiber and asking Mark to get his autograph for them. dude. i'm so jealous of you guys. pizza party at Muriels? whaa . I want you guys to pay close attention to the difference in atmosphere between Africa and America. maybe you can't feel it now but once you land back in the states and are walking through the airport, pay attention to it. It's really sad how the Spirit of God just sits in the air in Africa and is easily accessed but once you are back in America it is so much harder and so much work just to feel it for a minute. It's a challenge but now that you have felt the thick presence He can bring, you know what to look for. That's been my struggle sense I've been home but once you break through that it's amazing. I'm so jealous of you guyssssss ughh
okay love you bye
Courtney I'm still annoyed you ignored my phone call :)

love
