Namibia Heart

Beautiful Children

For the past two years i have been traveling to Namibia, doing Children, Teens, and Adult Ministries. When I first saw Namibia i fell in love with it, the people, the culture, I just fell in love with everything.

One of my favorate Memories though have to do with the childeren. I had promised my friends back in the States I would bring them all back a Namibian Rock,so whenever I found one I'd pick it up and put it in my pocket.So one morning I was walking along with about ten little 5 to 8 year old kids,getting curious they started looking looking through my pockets treasures, when finding 3 rocks one of them asks me, "Why do you have a rock in your pocket," I tried to explain to them that I was collecting them for my friends when all ten kids scatter. At this moment I'm wondering whats going on, all ten of them just dissapear, well moments later I have the whole crowd of them shoving 5 rocks into any pocket or opening they can find. In the end I was bulding with to many rocks to carry home in even my suitcase. Lets just say when the childeren saw their handywork the were pleased.

To any person who reads this I encourage you to take a trip, Namibia is amazing and is well worth any of your efforts.
