Branyn got home yesterday from South Africa. It was such a blast going to LAX to pick her up and see her shining face again after all these weeks. She looked so cute and it was so awesome to hear a bit about her trip. She definitely had a lot of highlights...she has a huge heart for Africa and being on mission there. One of the things she mentioned is the fact that everywhere you turn, there seems to be a need in that area. I'm so glad she got the opportunity to visit and serve. She also went on a safari, where she had an amazing encounter with a rhino just feet away from her. She drank coffee in whimsical cafes all lit up with strings of lights and got to eat some fun food popular in the culture.
It always amazes me to see where God takes His disciples. I have yet to go on a mission trip, but I'm really looking forward to that day. Branyn's stories really inspired me to seriously start praying about mission opportunities. (except the stories about the huge cockroaches and spiders the size of her hand...) But aside from those things, what could be better than sharing the Gospel to nonbelievers or meeting fellow Christians on the other side of the world? I really do think that Branyn will return to Africa this upcoming summer and stay for a longer period of time like she hopes to and is now planning. Maybe my family will go along for a bit with her! We are definitely feeling the pull on our hearts to go. But for now, we're keeping it in prayer and just seeing what happens.
It's only four days into this new month and it has already been such an awesome September!
