Lauren:

I wrote an entry for the team’s blog “Signed, Sealed and Delivered” at Wildcats’ Roar, in which I wrote that I hadn’t come up with an answer to the question “How was Nigeria?” I still haven’t, and I don’t know that I ever will.

It was hot, and we were tired, and we were dirty, but I learned so much about the world, about Frank and Andrew and about myself in those 10 days. Even all these months later, I’m still processing it.

Andrew: “I know I am not there but my heart will be there on that very day.” Watch.
