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!
