Hey eveyone !!!!!! So this last week has been really busy. Last weekend Christine and Darren went to Uganda, to visit an orphange there that they might be suporting, so Janelle and i were on kid duty for a couple days. On sunday after church Jen stayed home with the kids while the rest of us went to a church gathering for lunch and some worship, and lets just say it was interesting and we got pretty bored, and then we were bad and left early. When were home u should ask us about white africians K.
So in a day and a half i will be on an airplane heading home. I am ready to come home and i'm very excited to see everyone :P but saying bye to allllll those kids tomorrow is going to be hard, especialy the little ones who will probably not understand that were not just going back to the guest house for the night, that we are really saying goodbye.
well my computers about to die so i'll see u all like in the next week hopefully :) Bye for now :P

So the last couple days have been really cool, yesterday i went with a lady named Jackiu to a rural aria of Africa, it was a very sad but worthy experience. The houses, or more like huts there, are very sad some have no lighting and some have up to 10 ppl living in them. We brought many ppl packeges of food, that Jackiu prepares every week, to some ppl this is the only food they will get for the week. It was a really good experience to go and really see where lots of the ppl have to live.
today we went on a safari, we got some awwwwwsome pictures although its really frustrating to not have the pic u take look like what u see. By the way africa is really hilly, we were driving through the country today and it is sooo absolutly amazing how awsome Gods creation is!!!!!we swam in a rock pool that was really cool. and ya it was sunny !!!!! ya had a really good day.
Tomorrow we will be heading to church, and have a nice relaxing day at the cottage :P
i'll give u another update in a couple day, so ttyl, miss everyone there :P

Everything is Amazing

It is truly amazing how well everything has gone, thankyou God! Our trip {about 30 hours long} went really good. Not everyone slept ok but we all made it through and nbo big troubles on the way. Our guest house {ebukhosini - Gods House} is really nice, better then i expected. the weather here has been really gorgeous, it has rained about four days but the others have been nice and hot. Working at the orphanage {eSimphewi} has been so much fun. After being there for more then a week the kids have really gotten used to us and get excited when we show up. There are about 30 kids at eSimphewi, ten are 3-13 and about 20 are under three. The hardest thing about alot of kids is remembering there names. Saying names like Amphle, Kwanele, Mbali, Sphe, Nobule, Sibanle, Anele, are hard enough with out having to try to remmeber them. Christine has made a schedule so that we are doing different things at the orphanage everyday; playing with different age groups, working in hte office, going to organize there after school program, and going to small, run down and desperent communites.
We also went out for the day last saturday for a colture day, where they showed us trititional africain dancers and there communities.
I really love it here it is so beatuful and different but awesome.
So yea sorry it took so long to get on here. Our computer didn't work and needs to get fixed.
Please keep praying for me, im having an amazing time. I am also missing everyone alot, love ya all. Talk to you later bye!
