Dear Namibia,
I miss you and all that you include. The people, the children who smile and melt my heart, and the dust that ends up getting in your blood along with everything you own. I miss the familiar smells and it always takes me a week to have the heart to wash that last item of clothing that still has the faint remains of campfire. I miss the sunrises and the sunsets, and the starry night sky. I miss being around a group of people that you come to know and love so quickly and who are always so close by. I miss having African feet, staying up late and waking up early.
You never fail to teach me more about myself and who I would like to become. Thank you for always pushing me closer to my God and Savior. Thank you for your warm sun and mountains that scream God's love for me to the point that I can't escape even if I wanted to. Thank you for changing me and softening my heart so that I could become more like Christ. I hold you in my heart Namibia, and Lord willing I will be back someday.
Until next time,
love, amanda
PS: Keep a good eye on Toivo for me, he is one amazing kid who I miss very much.
