Missions Momma

Last week I was in the office working for the majority of the week.  On Tuesday and Wednesday I went to afternoon clubs and did assessments.  It is nice being able to get out and see what is going on and look at what things are working and what things we may need to tweak.  Thursday was a very long day I worked in the office in the morning and then in the afternoon I had to drive to

Oh my word I do not know where the time is going it is already March.  Well ok time for the annual week report about what life has been like......

Tuesday (23^rd) some of us went to Home Affairs in Cape Town to find out information on getting a new visitors visa and all of the paperwork that I would need.  The funny part is they have certain policies so I can not even apply

So the rest of last week I made it to two more clubs to do observations. On Tuesday night I went to Bible school and we had a great class where we learned about Christian Scientists as well as Scientology. The observations/assessments are going well. On Thursday I went to Red Hill I was actually planning on going somewhere but then things just fell in place for me to go to Red Hill. I had my papers

This week was packed with all kinds of things.  First of all I have started going to a new gym that is cheaper than the one I was previously going to.  Well I had a meeting with a personal trainer and he set up a new program for me so this past week I was getting used to that.  I am so glad to say that I have not been too sore which is such a wonderful praise!! 

As far as Living

This past week I have been busy in the office but as well getting to go out to clubs as well. I was able to take some people to a couple of clubs this week and that was quite fun.  I also started taking a Bible class one night a week the class is teaching about other religions and cults.  I am excited for this new challenge of growth ......already what I have learned is that more important

 

This week I only made it to one afternoon children's club because I was spending some last amounts of time with Pat before she left on Thursday.  I made it out to Red Hill on Monday and took Melanie there so she could see what it was like.  I have to say the kids there are so cute in fact with all of the new changes and things they were only having club at the top camp on Monday

 

Life has gotten back to normal here and that is wonderful.  This week I was able to accomplish a lot of work in the office.  I have had two individual volunteers helping me this week so jobs that I needed to get to but had not had the time they took over and have now completed just about every single one!!  Because of them tackling those jobs I was able to work in the office

I have offically been back in Cape Town for a week now and it has been so nice to get back to life.  I loved my time in the states but it was very busy where now here I have been able to slow down an just adjust back to life.  We landed on Tuesday and on Wednesday I picked right back up into work.  I walked into the Prevention building and was overwhelmed with all of the things that

 

I am sitting in the Chicago airport as I take a little bit of time to reflect on the past five weeks at home in the USA.  First of all I can't believe how fast the time went and how much I did not get to do.  The other side of that is the fact that I was able to visit with MANY friends, church family, my parents, one of my cousins and of course my precious five nephews!! 

I have now been in the USA a couple of weeks and it does still feel a little weird.  There are many things that I truly do appreciate about being in the USA like fast internet, more conveniences, more choices, but I also miss the slow pace of Cape Town and just the life that I have come to know there.  I have eaten so much souther food and enjoyed every moment I have gotten to visit with
