Lake Nakuru in the Rift Valley...and heading home!

Had a great day at Lake Nakuru in the Rift Valley - amazing to see God's incredible creation! (http://bit.ly/aaYgIC)   There are some more pictures on this album: http://picasaweb.google.com/daryn.sutton/Africa2010#


Flying out to Doha tomorrow afternoon with a reasonably quick turnaround to catch the Doha-Melbourne leg home!  Yay...looking forward to getting home.  There's been a lot to consider and process in the last 3 weeks about a whole lot of stuff.   The children's home in Nairobi and Daniel Kawata's school/medical centre in Kinshasa are great projects that I'd like to see us continue to support.  We can take teams of people there to do all kinds of things from working with the kids themselves, to building and renovation-type works.  Exchange was amazing, to reconnect with a lot of people and see some real strategic initiatives be birthed for the future. DR Congo was challenging and exciting at the same time.  I do really love Africa - and there's so much potential to be realised!  


TIme to turn my thoughts to home now - need to buy another car when I get back (my Magna got written off due to hail damage!) and a new hard drive for my Mac (which means some rebuilding - not sure I backed absolutely everything up, so that will be painful!).  And I'm looking forward very much to seeing Jo, Kealy and Elijah at the airport to welcome me home!! :)


I'll try and write some more as I think of it and process the last few weeks of happenings...it's gone quick, but yet seems like I've been away a loonnnng time!!
