Well I have now left Zimbabwe. It is sort of hard to believe that chapter is closed and that the Lord would bring me back to Sudan but He does work in mysterious ways.
The last weekend I was in zim, Brighton and I went to a little animal park and saw a few animals. The first area we could drive through and as you can see from this photo the lions weren't too interested in us or our car.
Then we saw some others in a zoo like setting but I have to say I am sort of glad this guy was behind the fence.
This time of year in southern Africa, the Jacaranda tress are flowering. These are beautiful purple tress that are all over the city (this one in my yard).
I leave you with a sunset photo. Zimbabwe will always be on my heart because of the time I spent there. I am hopeful that SP will one day be able to work there and I ask that you remember this country in your prayers. The people and the church are in desperate need. Pray the government would get its act together and that things can stabilize. One estimate now how the inflation rate at 513 Billion %. At any rate, it was truly a blessing to even spend a short time there and I hope to visit again.
Well for now I am off to Kenya and Sudan. Please pray for my transition as I take over the country director role for our projects - I will need lots of wisdom and guidance in the challenges ahead.

Great to get an update and pictures.
On a side note, I noticed your visitor locator is really lacking in Antarctica. Otherwise, you seem to have visitors from all over the world. That's what I love about the blog.
All the best in your new job in Sudan. May God continue to direct your steps.
Hey Phil,
We are going to be in Nairobi for Christmas visiting Josh and Audra. Maybe we can see each other! Praying for you in this transition time.
Kerri
