Well, after the day we had yesterday that seemed to never end and a restless nights sleep we are all beginning to recover. Today the big wigs at ANU (Africa Nazarene Univ.) wanted to meet with us. They all feel so terrible that this has happened to us. In the 23 years that Work and Witness teams have been coming to this area of Kenya this is the first time they have had this sort of incident. They asked some of the students to come in and sing for us. As they began they sang "Count Your Blessings" and as I looked around the table at the guys on the team, and I "named them one by one" I realized that truly our God had protected us and our REAL blessings where all in that room!! They went around the table and shared their support, gratitude and condolences. It was VERY moving to be uplifted and encouraged, spiritually, by so many!! ANU has been so accommodating and really very good to us!!
Out of this loss we have gained SO MUCH!! As a team we have bonded in a way I don't think any of us anticipated and here on campus we have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people who have prayed for us and shared scripture with us...I think all of our cups are FULL!!
I heard a quote that says "God testS our faith, so that we can test His faithfulness!!" I know first hand that my faith was tested and GOD IS FAITHFUL!!!!
