the rainy season

means that is rains...A LOT. everything, we concluded, is bigger in Africa. the raindrops, the bugs, the smiles, the food...it's all big and let's you know it exists. everything encourages all the senses. it's all new for me (and stephanie, too) so the eyes, ears, nose, fingers, mouth, and heart are all working 110%...it's neat. i've rarely felt so alive...maybe never have i felt this aware of my place in this world as a human, as a brother, as a friend, as a person of faith...just trying to do something.

i'm still trying to find vocabulary that is appropriate for all i'm seeing and hearing and feeling. i'm working on that and will try to use that soon.

just know that i'm being challenged and that i'm having a blast and learning how to find joy and GOD in a number of new ways. i'm asking a lot of questions and not entirely sure i'm finding the answers, but that's ok. i'll share those questions soon.

we begin talking and being with the children tomorrow (tuesday) so please be in prayer for our hearts and our time with them.
