I’ve been a bit disconnected this week. I spent Monday through Friday up north in South Africa at a game reserve. The first few days were spent with the interns on a bit of a getaway/retreat. The second half of the week was debriefing with our Outreach Staff (summer interns).

Lows of the week:
Being out of the office
Having friends visit our house (and not getting to see them)
Not having reliable internet
Feeling extremely tired

Highs of the week:
80-degree weather
Late night talks with a friend
Seeing a three-week old baby elephant
Lots of hippo action
Swimming in a very warm pool
Paddle (pedal?!) boating for the first time ever
Hearing/seeing how God has changed lives
