The storm before the storm

Today was supposed to be a low-key day, but it was only the storm before the real emotional storm. 
We went to both Bomani and Vipingo to prepare of the big VBS days tomorrow and Wednesday, and taught the sixth grade songs and the bible story so they could teach the littles. 
It was fun, but exhausting. 
And I got to see my peeps for the second last time. 
Tomorrow I have to say goodbye to my Vipingo girls. 
I love them. I love them all. 
And they wrote me letters today that almost brought me to tears. 
They said they loved me and they are going to cry when I leave and miss me everyday I'm gone. 
Tomorrow will be rough. 
And then on Wednesday I have to say goodbye to my Bomani peeps. 
Good. Ness.
But I really miss my home and all of the people in and around it.
But look at their faces. 
If you can't tell already, I have so many mixed emotions and I don't know what to do about them except for bawl my eyes out, which is what 75% of tomorrow will consist of.
All these kids. It feels like I will be here forever sometimes. 
But I won't. 
And that will be the hardest thing to process for me.
They sang for me so many times today and they are just so filled with joy I love it. 
All they want is to be loved.

It was just too precious. 
Kazungu loves to play with cameras and take amazing photos. 
I'm gonna miss him too. 
I'll miss all my peeps. 
But now it's only the storm before the storm.
