Today the team left. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I got my crying done on Monday! As Suzy was talking about the team leaving during yesterday's devotions, I got really sad. As much as I want to be here and know I am supposed to be here, I also wanted to be going home with the team to see my friends and family and experience the comforts of home once again. After a while, I was all cried out. I think that made today easier. It was truly surreal to see them fly away and still be standing in Sudan. Weird. I will definitely miss them. I think it really helped having them here. My transition was so much easier this way. During our last trip, our schedule was nuts. We worked all day and then went to a different village every evening. This time, our schedule really blended into their routine. It made settling in easier.
Thank you Mike, Amy, Tim, Alica and Tiffany for your encouragement and support. It was a blessing to have you escort me here. See you in a year when you come pick me up!
Stacie,
ReplyDeleteMay God bless you this year as you settle into the work that He has called you to. We continue to pray fervently for you and know that our Lord will do incredible things in and through you. Jesus is living through you in Sudan.

What a great God we have! He knew you would need that transition. That is wonderful. Isn't it great that Sheena is there with you for a while to help the transition even more. Will your role change any, now that the team is gone? Can't wait to hear what is next!
