The past days have been full of final papers, final exams, final meetings, and final good-byes. If there is one thing that is true about living in a college community, it is that the only thing that stays the same is that everything changes.
Every year the same routine takes place.
You spend time with people you have grown to love...which means,
You get behind a bit in your course work,
You have to work hard to catch up,
You neglect to spend time with people you love.
Then you realize that everyone is leaving,
Some for good, some for a week, some for a few months,
But you start to feel a little bit sad and that you are being torn in a million little pieces.
This time it feels harder than it has before. I don't know if it is because I have so much more to get done before we leave and therefore, I really don't have time to give people I love an adequate good-bye. Or maybe it is because I am leaving a place I have grown so comfortable in and I know I am in for a big change myself.
I don't know.

About Me
- Sprungers
- After living in the United States the past 5 years, Lacey and I (Aaron aka Moose) have the oppertuinity to return home to Tanzania. We will be gone for 3 months working with the elders of the Maakat/Gelai region to listen to their stories once again; only this time with new ears to hear them. It is our hope to help develop an oral theology that can be used in the future to better help these nomadic pastorialists seek and find Christ. We will try and keep you as updated as possible....granted there is no internet in the bush!!
