This concludes my Africa posts. Perhaps I'll go back through my photos and add a photo here or there in the next few months, but I'm ready to bring this blog back to my present life. These photographs represent my last day in Africa. I can honestly say I was sad to leave. Sure, I missed my friends and the normalcy of American life, but I could have stayed longer. "Be more relational," were Daudi's parting words. He encouraged me to focus on relationships and not worry about the "other stuff." I've tried to do this since my return. I try not to watch the clock or worry if I'm a few minutes late. I try to make the people I'm with a priority. I have a long way to go, but his words still echo, bounce around in the walls of my mind.

nice final post... elie, thanks so much for taking the time to document the trip... it was a pleasure to see your updates in my google reader and follow along the way with you. and regarding daudi's parting words - we should go out for coffee or tea the next time i'm in stl, and take those dogs for a w-a-l-k! ;)
"Be more relational." Well said, Daudi! My Lenten goal this year was too strengthen my relationships with people... it sure makes all the difference:)
