Family Time and now off to "the Bush"

I've had the pleasure of spending the last week and a half with a lovely family in Pretoria.  We've been enjoying language and culture differences and growing together!

Braiding the Challah Bread for a Special Dinner
UNO! Imported from the States and a card shuffling lessons

On your Mark, Get Set, Go!


The kids were inspired by hearing about the Raleigh Krispy Kreme Challenge (where you run 2 miles, eat a dozen doughnuts and run back in an hour). We started Africa's first official Crazy Doughnut Drive- biking to the store, scarfing down some doughnuts and riding back. Fun times !



  Today I'll be headed northeast on the road to Huntington near the Kruger National Park in "the bush".  Ms.  LaVerne, who is originally from North Carolina, and is now a full time missionary has graciously welcomed me to "come and see".   I will get to serve with her among the youth of their community and be a part of whatever she is doing for the week.  I don't know what to expect, but I know that God has some awesome things planned! They speak Tsonga there so "Avuxeni" (hello) to a brand new adventure. Much love to you all !
