The Last Day

It's hard to believe that our time in Lesotho is coming to a close. We finished up this morning with Habitat and visited two orphanages this afternoon - both of whom deal with HIV infected children. One of the sobering realities that we've lived with and experienced this week is that at its current pace, AIDS will wipe out this entire country in 20 years (it has one of, if not the highest infection rate of any country in Africa). Most of us had never heard of this tiny little country 2 weeks ago, and now our time in this place is sure to leave it's mark on each of us in unique and special ways. Please pray for safe travel home, and that our tired and sore bodies are able to find some bit of comfort on the long plane rides home.
