Six weeks have come to a close as I get on my first flight in roughly 7 hours now. It's been a hard six weeks for sure, but also a great learning experience. I've felt hapiness, sadness, despair, hope, frustration, confusion and really just about any other emotion possible. As I come away, it's hard to ignore the scale of the "issues" that are present in our world today be it in East Africa or at home in the US. It's overwhelming to think about working towards solutions to these "poblems" (if that is indeed what we're called to do). One person is so insignificant yet has the ability to shape a country and change the world as many people have done, making it up as they go. But we cannot be alone. One quote that has been playing over in my head recently is this quote that I leave you with...

"Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore, we must be saved by hope. Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore, we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love."
