Wow, much has happened since I blogged last. I’m so sorry I didn’t have a chance to post last weekend. I had limitted time at the internet cafe and had to book my flight for next semester.
Since I last posted, my team left Swaziland and came back to South Africa for a big Thanksgiving celebration. It was fun to see peolple I haven’t seen in a while but it didn’t quite feel like Thanksgiving as I was sitting in shortsleevse feeling hot. But TIA (this is Africa). The food was suprisingly American with excellent Turkey and all that goes into a Thanksgiving feast.
After that, we had day to get backed and ready to drive 14 hours to Jeffery’s Bay, South Africa, where I will be for the next 2 weeks. Special speekers are coming and and we will be learning about Christian leadership in the morning and going out to townships to play with kids and visit people in the afternoon. I will have to admit that I feel quite spoiled because the cabins we are staying in are only a block away from the beautiful Indian Ocean. It’s a little too cold and windy for me to swim but others on my team have been getting in the water.
As I mentioned, I had to buy my plane ticket for next semester and as I was looking at my account I need to raise a bit more support. I am short about $1,000. If anyone is interesting in giving, you can click on the link on the left side of this page that says, “Support Me!” or you can talk to my parents. Thank you so much.
I’m sorry I don’t have too much else to report. Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement. I love getting comments on my blog from people back home. It’s awesome. Thank you and may God bless you.
I really do enjoy reading your reports and of others on your team. My prayers go out to you and your teammates daily.
I feel blessed to be able to make a small contribution to your mission efforts. How is the building project coming along?
Looking forward to seeing you in December and perhaps getting a live report.
Remember you are missed by family and friends.
You sound like you enjoyed your Thanksgiving! That’s awesome that you are right by the Indian Ocean, sounds fun! I would be with you on the whole not getting in becasue it’s too cold! I hate cold water, haha!
Shell,
It’s great to hear from you. I figure you are probably short on cash because you’ve been slipping cute little african children some Washington’s every chance you get.
We miss you and are looking foward to seeing you soon.
