More Pictures













Images from Africa






In my last post I mentioned that on our last night there were papers w/each of our names on them & then everyone wrote notes to us. I just wanted to share mine (more like put it on the computer b/c I'll most likely lose the paper).
"I can see your heart and I love it. Continue to pursue what draws you and you will be significant in great healing stories." ~Cassie











"Africa. I was able to see you where you thrive...where your heart is. I believe that I have fallen in love as well (hope you don't mind sharing). Thank you for encouraging me. I'm glad we squeezed in some moments even though there was a secret conspiracy to keep us seperate. I just love you..." ~Sal







"In Africa you are alive. I can see the passion you have for this place in your eyes. I hope that you will be able to make many journeys to Africa. Your passion to help people will truly change lives. Plus I think your sense of humor is probably the coolest ever. Keep me posted on your future travels and updated on your child as well." ~Aaron













"Jilly Bean-- it has been a pleasure getting to know you better on this trip. What are the odds that we would find eachother on myspace & end up together in the country that we love. Thanks for taking good care of me. You are thoughtful, loving, & compassionate. Don't be afraid to express your emotions- they are as beautiful as you are. I love you. I will look forward to joining you in your journey." ~Kristen






"Thanks for bringing a smile to my face as I think about your tender heart which compassionately reaches out to those around you. May the Lord continue to inspire you on to who He has called you to be! Prov. 3:5,6." ~Josh
















"So, um, I love you. This place brings out the best in you my dear. I am so glad I got to witness you in this pace with these people whom you clearly love & adore. Your quiet smile does my heart good Jill. you are going to shake things up babe, I can't wait. I love you." ~Britt














"My African friend! More than just that though, you have meant a lot to me this past year. I remember feeling so comfortable around you when we first got on the plane last time, and it just keeps getting better. Your heart for Africa, and your committment to these people is so inspiring. You're awesome, you're awesome, you're awesome. I wouldn't mind if everytime I came to Africa you were with me. To be honest, it's going to be weird if we come without eachother. I hope this trip deepened your passion for Africa, and I can't wait to see what God is going to have for you down the road. Your heart is contagious, so keep it up!" ~Scott

"Thanks for introducing me to Africa! It has changed my life. Oh Jill, we have known each other for awhile, but this trip has definitely strengthened that relationship. I admire you in so many ways- your passion just shines from you. You are just so genuine & I am thankful for your friendship. Can't wait for our many classes together! Much hugs & kisses." ~Chelle








"I have so greatly enjoyed getting to see your heart. Your passion. I love listening to what you have to say-seriously-always. Thank you so much for your openness & your humor. I love you Jill." ~Chelsey









"I love you and you better be giving me calls to hang out when we get back. This friendship is lifelong I can already tell. Thank you for loving so much. Thank you for giving and for being yourself. Thank you for standing next to me even when I smelled bad. I love you and have been so blessed by your heart. We are going to have a fantastic time as friends." ~Christy






"You are truly good people. I have grately enjoyed your dry sense of humor and beautiful compassion during this African adventure. I am so glad you chose social work as your ministry, you have so much to offer." ~Alissa
