July

Africa!

We went to Niger (in West Africa) for the first 2 weeks of July. We had an amazing time and worked primarily with kids aged 5-13. We helped with the Kids' Camp that the missionaries run each summer. It's best described as a weeklong, residential VBS.

Most of the people on the trip were from a local Richmond youth group. It was exciting to be with these kids for their first internatioanl missions experience and to see God changing their hearts like He did for Robert and I on our first international mission trip.

The people were beautiful. The food was bad. I was in a 100% DEET haze for two weeks. It was one of the best things I've ever done in my life. We would both go back in an instant. Thanks for everyone's prayers and support.
