I am actually going!
Friday we celebrated the last day of Lecture Phase! It was a long day of hard work starting at 6:30 in the morning, . Food galore and blisters to boot! We had a lot of fun in the Kitchen, with roast lamb, lamb on the spit, roast vegetables, roast chicken, honey glazed carrots, broccoli and cheese sauce among other things, plus a large dessert.
I had an amazing crew, and never at one point was it stressful. though it was sure as heck busy!
After everything was cleaned up, the music started and the dancing began! Couples, groups and line dancing, lots of shouting, laughing, swinging and fun.
Early the next morning we said farewell the Fiji team and the Rotuma team, it was a whirlwind of goodbyes and tears mixed with excitement and anticipation. After they left everything seemed so quite... even though there where more than 30 people still here.
Over the next 2 days we also said goodbye to the Uganda , Philippines and New Zealand teams.
Now as the only team left on base, we are wrapping things up and getting ready to leave next week ourselves!
All this time that I have thought about the up coming outreach, I have been thinking of how cool it is that I get to go to these countries, but I have never really felt any emotion towards it. Then the other night we where watching the movie Father of Lights, and the part comes where Todd White was in Jerusalem, and we all got buzzy excited!! Since then, I have got the full range of emotions of what is about to happen... excitement, nerves, fear, joy, wonder and awe.
This will probably be our last post for a while as whilst we are in Turkey we will not really be able to do much communicating. I will stay in contact with my parents and the base if any one really wants to know whats up.
Please pray for Strength and courage for our team along with wisdom, unity, and safety.
SO!! Keep an eye out on this space for the next update on how our crazy trip has gone!
Blessings,
Amberleigh.
