As we are wrapping up our 3 months in Africa, I am blown away by how fast time flew by. This experience has been unreal and just about unexplainable! As I think back to Zambia, I remember the first week, when I would cry everyday and wonder what I was doing across the world – away from my family, my comforts, my regular everyday life that I was pretty content with.
