CRAZY JOURNEY

It's been really interesting (I hate that word and I'm still going to use it) to see the way this trip is evolving and progressing. Through each struggle I have experienced and heard different members endure, I have felt pangs of frustration, but also have been encouraged by it. Yes, encouraged. I know that we are being brought closer together and made stronger as a team and as individuals because of all of this. I also know that if we are getting incessantly hit by "surprises", then we are in the path of something good. Some may want to deter ours...His plans... but we persevere. And this will be an important part of what we'll need to do thousands of miles away and language barriers apart.

I love each of you and am amazed....downright amazed by the gifting and commitment of each of you. I don't know that I could be out of commission and manage so many ups and downs with any other team.

Counting down to the REAL crazy ride!

i love team north africa

This is a shout out to everyone on the team! You're awesome and I've been having a lot of fun getting to know each of you through the prep, planning and fundraising efforts for our trip. Each of you bring me much joy. It's always a wonderful thing when you find friends with similar hearts. We are going to have so much fun together on our great adventure! Hooray!

Arabic or French

the truth is, i am a bit nervous about the trip to north africa because i do not speak any of the languages of the people there. i guess if i can rock some french, it might work out ok. i'm gonna try and see if i can check out some language CDs from the library

احتاج ان اتدرب على العربية
