I'm sitting here trying to figure out if Belfast is actually cold, or if it's just the fact that I've been in near-equatorial Africa for 6 weeks that is skewing my judgement.... Regardless, it's colder here! Though I think i'm okay with that, it's funny how you miss things like clouds!
So, I'd say you can guess from that last paragraph that I've arrived safely home on Northern Irish ground! It was quite the trip with a few overnights gaining us a few extra stamps on our passports, but before we knew it, we were flying high over Loch Neagh, preparing to land!
I'm staying at home tonight before heading off to Closkelt tomorrow (the other YWAM NI base) to debrief with the DTS before they leave next weekend. It's hard to believe that this busy year is coming to an end, at least this part of it.
This blog has been missing pictures for a few months... So, here's a very select few just for now!
Rwanda & Burundi team at Lake Tanganyika in Bujumbura.
The pastors from the conference in Buhiga:
Playing with the parachute at the orphanage!
Prepare for a few more great pictures to appear over the next few weeks on this place, none really taken by me! Our team had some talented photographers...
But for now, I'll leave you with a little comedy... You may remember a few weeks ago when I told you about the over-zealous Burundian Westlife fan I met in the internet cafe? Well, I received an email from him where he makes it clear he still believes I'm holding out on him with their addresses... An excerpt can be found below:
Hello .
My friend it's me Tonny Billy Clinton the small boy that you talked about westlife in the cyber . Now I wanna that you'll be my best friend as the westlife Please tell them everywhere you see them that in Burundi there is a boy who love them.
Bye bye
I'm afraid I'm likely not going to be able to pass on the message...but if there's anyone out there with access, be sure to pass it on to the boys!
Blessings,
Tom (Back in Belfast!)
