Gone With The Wind

LY-Breh-Reeee  Day 9 

Today was the library dedication at Zamo. After a looooooonnnnnnnngggg week of painting, sorting, dancing, and a lot of things in between we are finally giving this beautiful library away. I wasn't super emotional about the dedication this year but I WAS proud of my family and my parents mostly because GOD knows...I don't do anything. They work so very hard every year to find and assist a school in South Africa with their educational needs. Honestly right after our "team trip" ends they start scouting for schools that need help. I just think it is outstanding the work that they do in the Eastern Cape. I guess that is why my father says that every dedication is special to him. Anyways, the library turned out really well and I think that Ms. Dacia (the woman who we dedicated this library to) would have been REALLY proud. 

The team banded together and we got the job done. We had one week to install the library with all of the books, e-readers, furniture, and other miscellaneous items and we did it! Every year I am always amazed at the fact we always finish. Through all of the struggles and issues we always finish. It truly is a beautiful thing being able to hand over a library to a much deserving school.  After the library dedication ceremony we were able to hand over the keys to a brand new library to Zamo. It was beautiful. Then we kind of just hung out with the kids and teachers for a little bit and left the school.


Tonight went really well in the tents. Adam spoke on the power of God and I felt like his message was well received by the teens. 

SN: Sometimes I forget how crazy blessed we are to have such an amazing platform. We are given the opportunity to speak into hundreds of youths lives every night. How crazy is that? 

I felt so at home tonight in the tent. This week has been such a blessing. I really enjoyed meeting new people this year but to be honest I really appreciate everyone. I can't wait to come back next year and make even more relationships with these beautiful people.
