Last night I came home from school and Gogo handed me a sack. I took it and curiously looked inside. To my surprise and utter delight I found a beautiful skirt! Gogo’s gift to me as I prepare to leave on Monday morning. O dearie, it is going to be so hard to say goodbye to her and the kids of the Creche! I feel so comfortable with Gogo, and laughing-singing-praying together over the past 2.5 weeks has been . . . such sweet grace to my soul. She’s already mentioned several times how she is going to miss me. The kids of the Creche asked her today when Sibongile (they only know my Xhosa name) is going to leave. “I don’t know. Why?” she asked. “Because we love Sibongile!” Ah….melts my heart. So thankful to God for the way He’s intersected my life with this wise, fun, beautiful woman and these precious kids!
