I have been back in America for about a month now and have finally settled back in to life in Minnesota. I don’t think it is possible for me to summarize or accurately express what the time spent in South Africa has meant to me and my faith journey. This past summer was perhaps the most challenging summer of my life, but it was also the best summer I’ve ever had. God revealed Himself to me in ways I have never seen before, and the way I see Him and other people has changed a lot. I have a love for God and people that wasn’t as strong before I left. I understand that I don’t have to perform for God to earn His love, but he is pleased with me because I am His son. I see that there is no guilt in life because Jesus died on the cross and paid the price for all of my sins. I will never be perfect, and I’ve accepted that there is no sense making others think otherwise. Those are some of the things God has shown me. God is good!!

Thank you all for reading these posts, for the prayers, and the financial support many have provided. This experience would not have been possible without all of you. I’ll conclude with a video that paints a nice picture of what our tennis team was like.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6OgIbtX59w

Enjoy and God bless!
