Porky Pig

(So I wrote this in the Amsterdam airport, but then it didn't post...so here it is)

My time in Africa is finished. I am sitting awaiting my flight to Vancouver in Amsterdam and for the first time in almost 4 months, I am not stared at because I don't look so unique anymore. (In many ways, the feeling of normality is a relief).

This past week I have been hanging with my cousin Liz on the Kenyan coast where we were both able to chill. It was super nice. I was able to try kite surfing! If you don't know what that is, check out the pictures that I have attached. Basically, you have to learn to fly an incredibly intense kite that is attached to your body and then you have to try to surf on a board while flying the kite. I was barely successful but I think multi-tasking is really a girl's sport. But I had lots of fun (and lots of cuts from the kite throwing me into the sand...it's crazy powerful.)
Getting the kite in place

Hard to see but I promise I got up!

I think you should probably refer to Liz's blog also to hear about our fun adventures because I think she will write more about our adventures too http://elizabethkroeker.blogspot.com/

Otherwise, things in Africa have been awesome. I have really been so blessed during my time here and I have learned so much about...well, so much. You know, the thing is that writing about it doesn't really do justice.

But I am so thankful that God has sustained and equipped me so faithfully throughout my journey.

Porky Pig said it best with "That's all for now folks." Also, some random lady from T.V. said it best when she said "We are all Canucks." I say, "let's take the cup baby!"

Okay I'm signing out. Thank guys for being such great support.
