South Africa!!

Hi everyone!!
I'll have to keep this real short cause my ride is about to leave me. Too bad I've been kicked off the internet three times so I didn't get very far here in cyber space this time! Here are a couple of lists:

You know you are in South Africa when...
1. After Yvonne (the missionaries I'm staying with) picked me up, we had to go to the police office to pay for a ticket. A suspect was behind the counter in rope hand cuffs standing in a puddle of blood. Apparently he was a theif and was caught and attacked by the police dogs. He just stood in the corner while the police officer took down the ticket info. The criminal didn't even have a guard. first african experience.

2. Monkies are on the side of the roads eating bananas.

3. You eat an egg on bread and that's lunch.

4. Still haven't showered in 4 days because the light was broken in the bathroom and it's pitch dark. (hoping to shower today!!!)

Some of my favorite finds:
1. ALL of the kids are still alive from last year. BRH, I'll email you a full report whenever I have more time on the internet.

2. Yongama, the kid I spent the most time with at Rehoboth last year, was the first kid to run and jump into my arms.

3. Outside of my bedroom looks like a fairy tale. pictures to come, i hope.

4. I went to sleep at 8pm last night and only woke up when another volunteer woke me up this morning at 11am!! :)

To BRH:
1. Lisa, that little baby that you played with last year is so big! He's walking and talking now. He also has sores all over his face, not sure what that's about.

2. Chad, Siphamondla was riding a bike yesterday and looks great! Nkosi just got a hair cut and is completely bald!

3. Rachel, that sweet and shy boy is still sweet and shy. :)

4. Everyone, I got the full story on Sarah Nesbitt and will email y'all when I have more time.

Well, that's all the time I have for now. Dang!!

Love and miss you all!
