Kyle and I have been back in the States for almost a month now. Let me tell you...
mother's home cooking (yummmm)
season TWO of glee (we watched ONE over and over and over in africa...)
Hot showers
new QUEEN size bed complete with pretty turqoise BIRD quilt (pretty!)
air conditioning
friends!
and just that warm feeling you get knowing you're HOME
it has been wonderful to be back. However, it doesn't come without those random moments that sneak up out of nowhere in which I miss my Kalembe family. I think about them every so often, and desperately send love there way. I pray for their safety and provision. And just wonder how they're doing.
With that being said, our decision to come home early has been proving correct. (so you think you can dance starting up right when we get home?! ... coincidence? i think not.) But seriously, only 3 days after our arrival home did we receive an opportunity to go to Sweden to be leaders at a Christian Camp. WOWie! Kyle and I have been wanting to go to Sverige for a couple years now, as one of our best friends is from there! We even have an empty water jug entitled "To Sverige" that collects our change. We've been collecting money in it for 5 months and did the great unvailing of our loot the other day... 100 bucks! Not too shabby.
Anyways, it's just amazing how wonderful Jesus is. He gives us the desires of our heart. Kyle and I didn't think we'd be able to get to sweden for a few years, and out of nowhere, blessing.
We will be leaving for Sweden June 20th, and be returning July 3rd. It is a quick trip, but will be amazing of course. We will be leaders at ACTScamp. A christian camp that was started in 2008 by great family friends of ours, Pernilla and Rob Hardin. In the morning I will be helping lead campers in dance. It's an amazing experience for me as I've been choreographing again! Something I miss dearly. The afternoon consists of different group activities such as canoeing, ropes courses, beach trips, etc. The evening is filled with dramas and dances, quick lessons, and then small groups. The students can then go off and hang out or join in worship. The campers consist of 50/50 Christian/nonChristian, so it is an amazing outreach tool and place for young people to discover Truth in a fun and safe environment.
We are honored to be a part of this, and are so excited!
We leave in 5 days, and are spending our time finishing preparations. Can't wait to let everyone know how it went when we return!
