After English Camp, we were given the opportunity to go with the iThemba team that we were with for our first week to a camp. This was a camp for Lutheran kids going through the confirmation process, so they were all christians. It was a really interesting weekend. The kids absolutely loved iThemba! We didn't really do ministry during these two days, but we mostly just used it as a time to be with our friends and get a last chance to be together before we said goodbye. The best part about the weekend for us was when Obi, the team leader, dragged us up on stage to dance with iThemba. It was funny, and we're both horrible dancers, but it was a lot of fun, and we will never forget it.
The hardest part of our whole time in Germany happened that weekend as well. iThemba drove us to the train station, and we had to say our final goodbye to them. There were tears all around, and a lot of hugging. We promised them that we would come to South Africa, and they promised us they would come to America; so hopefully we'll get to see at least one of them again. They are all very special to us, and we will never forget them.
We had our debrief week with Art and Beckie Melli, who trained us during our first week in Germany, at their home in Kandern. We spent a lot of time talking about our time in Germany, being tourists, and unwinding before coming home. It was a tough week in some aspects, but it was very refreshing. We got to spend a little time in France and Switzerland during that week too, so that was an added bonus!
The day we traveled home was a VERY long day, and we are very glad that it's over. Jenni spent her first week home doing VBS at her church, and Megan is currently at camp with her church's youth group, so we have both stayed very busy. Thank you for all your prayers!
