summary

So, we're home. We've been home for the better part of a week and I'm just now normal enough to write something comprehensible...the trip was blissfully uneventful and I thoroughly enjoyed going this round with the team.

Probably my least favorite thing about mission trips is re-integrating. You never come back the same as when you leave so there's always adjusting to do (though I will say that it was particularly easy to readjust to always having hot water). Your mind is always somewhere else and you are expected to sum up your trip into an acceptable one or two-sentence answer to be used when someone asks you the requisite "So, how was Africa?". It drives me insane. I know, I know, what else are people supposed to ask? I understand that...but still, it is very hard to give a quick answer about something so major. Especially when it's all you want to talk about for um, say the next two months of your life...

Oh well, that's probably part of any mission trip and just me venting about it.

I'm ready to go back.

I'll post links to all the pictures here as soon as they all come in...
