ABO July 2008

ABO - our orientation to life in Africa (it only starts here, this is a life long process!)

I didn't really know what to expect, but I feel that I am than prepared to be pleasantly surprised.  Basically it was 3 weeks of lectures and brain filling info... BUT it gave me the chance to meet so many amazing people!  We were staying at Scott Theological College which was such a blessing to be able to spend time with the students who are studying there... learning from them and hearing their stories was a great encouragement.  Our group in itself represented several countries, with so many different backgrounds and destinations.  It is so nice to learn from other people so that I can "have the grace to make fresh mistakes".

It was a really great 3 weeks, I very much enjoyed myself.  Now that its over I am very much looking forward to getting 'home' to Kalacha.  I miss our friends and family up there.

I think they are playing a type of 'british bulldog'... 

We had a 'culture' night- a mix of skits, songs, dances and stories from around the world. It is really neat to hear John 3:16 in over a dozen languages!

It was a very great evening, I enjoy the rhythm and the life that they had in their music!

Two of my beautiful sisters... Janette (a student) and Naomi (going to work in Chad). 

Random people from around the globe... all together for 3 weeks of learning! Intense learning!

One of the children who joined our hike. Towards the end there were almost 30.

We got to go on a nice hike... mzungu invasion!  It was beautiful country!

hahahaha  Computer cameras are great fun!
