Sunday June 12th the team was able to participate with the local village church again. Mark was able to preach, the kids were loved on and taught in Sunday School, and team members were able to share testimonies and worship with the local congregation. It’s amazing how physical differences such as language, skin color, socio-economic status, and age can disappear in the midst of true worship. 
The team continued to work hard both that next Monday and Tuesday to finish up as much as they could and even though some were up until the early morning Wednesday finishing the roof, it was nice to be able to see it 
covered and mostly completed! There were many tears as the team said goodbye to the kids and locals that they had fallen in love with over the past 10 days (and year for many of them). During their few days of debrief and sightseeing in Livingstone, the team was able to witness a rare occurrence of a lunar eclipse and lunar rainbow at Victory Falls at the 
same time. The team headed back home Friday, June 17th, tired from all the work and activity but hopefully satisfied in their hearts for all that they were able to do and the impact that they were able to make. Thank you team members for being willing to serve and sacrifice and to a Church and all the supporters who helped make this trip possible. When the team left for home, the remaining three of us headed to Lusaka for a few days to submit Alyssa’s work permit and do some errand running while we were there. We returned back to camp Wednesday June 28th.
