Zambia: Time to Process

Lots of mixed emotions among Team Moyo as this trip winds down. We've seen and done a lot during our visit and our hearts will never be quite the same.

We are taking a little time on safari to process what we've seen and learned with discussion and prayer among God's amazing African creations before returning home.  Our team has already identified the "gifts" shown/given to us during our time in Moyo.  Among them are generosity, relationships, humility, hope and an appreciation for "just being" in the moment. 

I know I speak for the team when I say that we already miss the WV ADP team we left in Choma and it has truly been a blessing to travel with Mike Owen of World Vision. We are all bonded by new friendships solidified by sharing such an amazing experience together.  

Brianna Gustafson writes;  I love the simplicity of life here. In fact, I slightly envy the people of Choma & Moyo that we've met. Unfortunately, this type of life is so foreign to us in the States.  The landscape is so pure and untouched - absolutely amazing!  The people of Moyo are a beautiful people - so much happiness and so many smiles in the midst of such extreme poverty.  Zambia and Moyo will forever be in my heart and this will definitely not be my last trip here.  

This will likely be the last post before we return home on Sunday morning.  Many thanks again for your continued prayers for safe travels on the long journey home which begins tomorrow morning.   

God bless, 

Eli & Team Moyo
