Woke up to another beautiful morning in Legho. Except this morning seemed a little more meloncoly than the rest, seeing as it is our last full day with our whole crew together. After a quiet breakfast, Papa Deo prayed for our day and the journeys ahead of us. After the prayer, Deo wanted us to have one more quiet time except this time instead of going out to the peak, we all walked an hour to the Legho waterfalls(except Christin, who rode in the car to the falls, because we're trying to save her for Kili). The walk was tiring but enjoyable for me as I got to know Conley and the twins a little better. Everyone on this trip by the way has been so welcoming to me and I feel as though I've been friends with everyone for years. Anyway, once we arrived at the falls we spread out to find places for our quiet time. As everybody was settling in, however, Liz settled into the river! She was alright though and Carolyn cheered her up with a few jolly ranchers. After spending over an hour of silence alone with God, we closed our quiet time by singing How Great is Our God. As we walked back, we reflected on our trip so far and joked about me being the "new kid". After getting back to Papa Deo's, we all scarfed down a delicious pasta lunch made by Mama Irene. And now we our just playing cards and napping waiting to get briefed by our Kili guide at 4. Overall our time here has been so valuable for everyone and we all have found a new appreciation for the simplicity and flexability of Africa.
