Back online in Kinshasa...

Headed home tomorrow... Filled but exhausted; Blessed but burdened; Missing our Mbandaka family but longing for home....

Just a few photos from our days in Mbandaka....

Musings from beneath the mosquito net

The alarm is set for 5:30 so without a doubt, I should be sleeping. However, like the old Disney commercial, I'm too excited to sleep.... So much running through my head from the past 24-hours.... So much I'd like to share but I haven't fully processed yet. 

Kinshasa is an astounding city. So many people going so many directions....  Cars, carts, children, commerce... People etching out a living amidst constant challenge. 

And brothers and sisters who stop whatever else is going on to greet us, meet with us, translate and answer questions, cook for us... all before we even reach the Mbandaka district where we have our partnership....

We also spoke with Reverend Ilumbe and Rosette by phone a couple of times today. We are excited to go to see them tomorrow, and from the sound of their voices on the phone, they are excited to greet us as well. 

There is so much more to say but I cannot keep my eyes open to type it, or my mind clear enough to form thoughts. 

With a grateful heart, goodnight.
