Corn bread, fried chicken, and sweet tea

Good morning!
Today is our last morning at the camp in Johannesburg. :(
The title if this blog is all southern because campers here have spent the week trying to copy our southern accent. How ironic since in America we always want a different accent.
I can not describe how much this camp has made a impact on me. The love and kindness that the South Africans have showed us has amazed me on a daily basis. From the second we arrived here we have been given above and beyond. Our host family and the church have taken such good care of us. I've really felt spoiled by the hospitality. Then once we finally got to the camp the campers where some of the nicest kids I have ever met. You could sit at a random table and within 5 minutes you would have a new best friend.
Jeff taught a lesson the other night about being a light, and how we can sometimes let parts of our heart go back into the darkness. Before this trip some parts of my heart had grown dark and hard...not anymore. The love I have felt here, the joy I see on the campers face, and the way God has blessed ever part of this trip has fixed every dark part of me. Africa really has brought me so much joy. I can't thank God enough of giving me this chance.
ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY AMAZING MOTHER!!!! I LOVE YOU!
Love, Adrienne Hames

Greetings from South Africa
I would just like to take the time to thank God for this opportunity he gave us to be able to have befriended so many Americans. I personally have learned so much spiritually in the past week. Thank you so much to Jeff, Mrs. Jen, uncle Rodwell and aunty Osyilia you were amazing.
To God be the glory.
Love Chet
