Our Last Day in SA!

Today is our last day of the WBGC SA study seminar. We've actually just wrapped-up our final session as a group and several of the women are in eating lunch as I type this. We'll be boarding our 2 vans shortly to head to the airport (Durban), from which most of us will head into Johannesburg and go on to our respective countries.
It's a sad day! We've genuinely built some global community these past weeks, and it's sad to think that the 2 weeks have already passed by. BUT, the silver lining is that the 'community' we've built does not rely solely on being physically in close proximity with one another; this community will continue through correspondence, our interactions back at home, and prayer. Today is the 'last day', but actually, it's the first day,too. This is an exciting time for all of us to go back home with all that we've learned and experienced here. 'Break the silence', ladies!!!

P.S. Internet access has been considerably more sporadic than we expected/were told it would be, and for that we want to extend our apologies to family, friends and supporters! As we were unable to make regular posts to the blog during our day-to-day experiences these past 2 weeks, we'll be taking the time during the next few weeks to bring the blog up to speed and post the reflections, pictures, stories, videos and things learned for everyone to share in. Please be patient with us and stay tuned! And again, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
