Bed Moving

This is how we exchange beds in Maun. Look carefully.

Better Day and Pics are Up

Hi all!

Apparently a good night of sleep, a great church service, a discipleship opportunity, and an ice cream cone can really change one's mood.

I am doing so much better today than I had been the last few days. I bet that a few of you back home were praying for me, so thanks for that :)

I put together a picture album from our day at Mma Sibongile's house. Check it out here

I also updated my general pictures- you can check that out here

Namibia!!

We get to go to Namibia this week! I forgot about that! We leave Wednesday (13 hour drive with the 5 of us in a Corolla- yikes!) and come back on Saturday. We get to play in the ocean and go 4 wheeling in the dunes. It's gonna be a great week :) :) :)

Still Alive...

Hello! I am going to preface this entry by saying that I am still glad to be in Africa. There.

We have been working 12-15 hour days all week, and that is going to continue. Exhausted may be too light a term to describe our energy level. Our day off should be in quotations, because we only get about 3 hours of free time in between all of the other lessons and ministry placements, and that stays full with cooking and laundry. Oh well. We only live once, right?

On to the good news! I have officially been placed with reception! Those are my little kids :) I LOVE them. LOVE. Our placements last from 8am (sometimes 7am for me) to 1pm. A couple of times a week I get to go swimming with my kids and the 2nd graders, so that will feel great when the summer weather starts up. They might still need me to help with some communications stuff, but I honestly don't know how that could fit into my schedule. No clue.

Camping Story Update!

Turns out that my "overactive imagination" was a reality. In case you didn't get a chance to read my camping story, click here. I have told quite a few of the missionaries around here about what I saw, and every single one of them said that it's very likely it could have happened.

Sarah had discovered that the lock on the gate to our campgrounds had been tampered with between 4:00 (when she left to run into town) and 5:30 (when she returned). And I just found out tonight that there were 3 people spotted on our campground that night who weren't supposed to be there. Beyond that, just in general, people are saying that it is very likely that girl was there and was probably just curious about the campers.

Creepiest thing ever. For real, I woke up at 3am to a stranger staring at me through my tent window, then silently walking away. Horror movie plot right there, folks.

Also!! I could tell you exactly what this girl looked like and what she was wearing, down to her shirt and necklace. Two days later, we were grocery shopping and a man walked by wearing the shirt I had seen on this girl. I kind of flipped out, and that was when I still thought it had just been a figment of my imagination.

Gah. I'm just thankful that I am not living in the bush. I think after that night I would have trouble ever sleeping again.
