Hello from South Africa!
It has been such a joy being here with so many brothers and sisters. A lot of people have asked me what has been the biggest difference here compared to the States, but honestly, I've been feeling like I'm just with good friends in another city. Don't get me wrong, it is a little strange driving on the opposite side of the road and paying in rand (I used a 10 rand bill for a water; that through me off a bit. Im still trying to remember that It's not equivalent to 10 US dollars). I've just been so taken care of by my host family and my SA friends that I feel right at home :)
We left the Iion park just now and it was so amazing! -Don't worry mom, no lion/tiger/cub mauled my face off. But it was so beautiful out there! Every day here I'm constanty reminded of the beauty in God's creation. Just being here is such a privilege and blessing. I've thanked God every day that I had the opportunity to see South Africa and the body of Christ here. I'm feeling his love in every hug I get when meeting a new brother or sister; it's AWESOME!
Now it's time to get ready for camp!! Thank you for all the prayers. With much love all the way from South Africa (missing you mom, dad, dee, and kev)

Thanks for being safe...I don't think I could handle another picture with a lion/tiger on back of one of my children! So happy that you recognize God's greatness no matter where you go. Praying for you, the team and the campers. Love and miss you! Mom
