Of course Homecoming is a time to reconnect with friends....we have been spoiled for the past 3 weeks getting to see our sweet friend Kenley before she leaves for Africa in early November.  She will be living in Lusaka, Africa where she will help run 16 private schools through Lifeway Christian Academics which educates 3,400 orphaned & vulnerable children (& counting).
