Meeting #2

Ham Jambo mimi Rafiki!
Yesterday team Tanzania had our second meeting and it was lots of fun and full of good energy!
As a group we got to play a few team building games. One was we each had to put our feet in a yarn circle for 7seconds at the same time. As the circle got smaller and smaller and smaller we had to get close and personal with each other like linking arms, or hugging each other. Whatever it took we jumped in to do it! It was great to know that everyone was willing to just jump in and go for it! It also revealed special leadership skills in some! Very cool experiment.
It was nice getting to spend some time with the other team members, i am especially excited that Rachel, she is my friend that is returning as well this year, i am excited that she is on the team. I realize it would be very hard to cope by myself if she wasn't on the team.
I am already seeing personal conflicts and struggles within myself on this return trip, i knew they would eventually fester through but i am also learning to accept this trip as a new and fresh experience which is extremely difficult because there have already been so many changes both there and in my own heart. It is amazing to me how much a year has changed me as a person, as a student and as a woman of God.
I extremely excited for this team though, i see how God is slowly training thier hearts for this trip and its hard to sit down and be quite at times! I mean if you look at it, ive spent the last 9 or so months telling everyone about my trip, making a large scrapbook and stareing at pictures and memorys, its hard to now be quite and let them experince Africa on thier own, yet as a team. Hmmm this look like a good opertunity to put this into somthing perductive! Ill have to think on that one :)
Hope everyones have a great Week, as of now its time for me to get back to Homework!
