How was Africa?

What do we say when we're asked, "How was Africa?" After over two years overseas, we have about 6,000 pictures and about that many stories.  I have no idea how to answer. Its like we have been to another world. How does one explain what the least developed country in the world is like to people who live in one of the most developed? Its still hard for me to comprehend that Niger and America exist on the same planet.  So, we show a few pictures and tell a few stories all the while still struggling to process the experience ourselves.

Inevitably, we then come to the next question- "What are you going to do now?" We are still working on the answer to that, too. Mostly we are praying a lot, seeking guidance, and trying to relax a bit and enjoy our time back despite all of the uncertainty.  One thing we do know...we are looking forward to meeting our baby girl in less than three months!
