At the end of Friday night's Bon Voyage Pig Roast, members of our traveling group were all saying goodbye and goodnight to one another. We realized something that evening: for some of us, we would not be seeing one another again until we meet up in the KIA Lodge on Saturday night...IN AFRICA!
Every day has been a "goodbye" day since then. Friday night, I bid farewell to members of our group who I wouldn't see in worship this weekend: "See you in Africa!" Saturday night, I said goodbye to other group members after evening worship: "See you in Africa!" Sunday, I said goodbye and good afternoon to other members of our group after morning worship: "See you in Africa!"
The truth is that I will meet up with some of our group at the airport in Chicago, and we'll all travel together beginning Thursday afternoon. And we will hook up with other members of our group in Amsterdam on Friday, and fly the rest of the way to Tanzania together. And then we will wait eagerly to meet up with the rest of our group in Tanzania on Saturday.
But it is much more fun just to say, "See you in Africa!" So hopefully, this blog will be your way to join us - to fly with us and experience Tanzania with us and meet up with us (at least in the virtual world) as often as we can manage it.
And so we say to you what we've been saying to one another these past few days: "See you in Africa!"
Peace,
Melissa
