Our Last Day and Departure (8/1)

We’re so sad that this day has come. Our time in Lukulu went by way too fast. All of the missionaries are so thankful for the friendships and bonds that we created while we were here. On Monday, we had a lot of free time to pack our bags and play with the children for the last time. We also had our farewell mass and party, were exchanged gifts, danced and had so much fun! Yesterday morning, our journey back to Michigan began. We left Lukulu, bright and early, at 6am. After a long and bumpy journey, we made it to Lusaka around 5pm. We all relaxed and shared stories about the incredible experiences we’ve had in the past 2 weeks. Today, we will shop around a little bit at the local market and get ready for our departure. Our flight leaves at 9:25pm (Lusaka time). We all can’t wait to see our family and friends! Please pray for our safe travels in the next few days.
