Well, we just got back from rafting down the Nile river and survived! :) It was so much fun! (says Megan) It was the scariest, most fun I have ever had but, never again. (says Melanie) Today was a very long day we left to go rafting at 9 this morning and got back around 6 this evening. We are very tired. We're sad that we had to spend our last full day here rafting and not with the kids but, we really would have regretted not going. Tomorrow we leave Amani around 4 in the afternoon so, we will have some time to play with the kids before we leave. Tomorrow will be a really hard day for us having to say goodbye to the kids and the mamas and wishing we could stay longer. Three weeks definitely wasn't long enough. But, now we know that for next summer instead of staying three weeks, we should stay for three months. Then we might feel like that was enough time well spent here. Who knows, but we both know we are coming back here. Oh and by the way... For those of you who have asked us and we weren't able to give you an answer or you have been wondering.... Amani means peace. Please keeps us in your prayers tomorrow as we begin our journey back home tomorrow. Again, we thank you for all your support! We are so incredibly blessed!
Can't wait to see you all and tell you our many stories!
Melanie & Megan
Great post, ladies. We are excited to have you back home soon, but it has been a privilege to hear how God has touched you through this experience. And I'm glad that you took the plunge and survived - on several different levels.

Can't wait to hear all about rafting and the rest of your trip. Not everyone can say they rafted down the Nile river! :) Have a great trip home!
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun to follow your journey and I have been praying for you two. Sherri Eide mentioned getting together with you to see pictures when you get back. Let me know if that happens....I would love to join in!
