Missions Momma

On Monday I went to the Capri office to work again on RIBBONS but first got to go to morning devotions and then helped set up some tea, coffee, and snacks for a little goodbye for two of the girls that were my housemates.  They are the ones from England/Scotland and were leaving on Tuesday.  Then I got to go back to sorting RIBBONS!  In the afternoon I got to run some errands and

Here is my weekend recap:

On Saturday, I went to do some shopping for the DC4K class that I am helping with.  Of course you all know how much I like to shop and so I spend some time doing that.  I then spend the afternoon just hanging out with Becky (another volunteer that will be here until December) and we watched a movie.  Then it was time for some Springbok rugby however

Thursday I spent more time with the RIBBON!  I spend the morning and part of the afternoon sorting ribbon and wrapping ribbon.  Some of the other girls came over and helped fora little while and when it was just me I put the headphones on and just the time working.  Then we went to Red Hill for teeen club.  Again it was a day that we worked more on rules and consequences and

So I will start with yesterday!  I spend morning working from the B and B typing up all of the observations from the past two weeks.  I am so glad to say that I am done with that!  I then got ready and went to Youth Club in Red Hill to begin introducing the concept of rules to them and why we have rules.  I must say it went well.  Stanton talked to the youth about why it

So this morning I had a meeting with one of the Life Skill Educators (Stanton) he works in Red Hill.  We met and talked about rules, consequences, expectations, and rewards for Kids Club.  He does a great job with the kids and asked me to help him...and of course as all of you know I said YES.  It was  a great meeting and starting tomorrow we are implementing these things. 

Went to church this morning and there was a guest speaker there and it was Peter Pollock (he is famous in the sport of Cricket in South Africa).  I do not know anything about cricket I figure I will stick with rugby!  It was really good he preached on The Prodical Son and even though I have heard that Scripture so many times he put a different spin on it.  He talked about the first

Friday morning I got to experience something that can only happen in South Africa.  Last Saturday was National Women's Day, this is a day that is celebrated by women here in South Africa to remind of the day in 1956 when women from all over South Africa marched to protest the passbook laws that they governement wanted to put into place.  So this morning the women who work

Well let me tell you about the evening.... Jakes (she is the manager of the Team House and we are good friends) and I left at 2:30 to head to the concert because she had to run errands and then we were on our way to stand in line for the concert.  They did general admission tickets and we wanted to get good seats to be able to

Well I thought I would catch you up on the past couple of days.  On Tuesday morning I went with Stanton (Life Skill Educator) to a school in Simon's Town where he teaches a 4^th grade and 5^th grade class.  He explained that this is a very nice school and a lot of the children their parents work at the naval base.  When we drove up all of the kids were outside

This afternoon I started observing Kids Club in Red Hill.  There is one Life Skill Educator named Stanton and he was nervous that I was coming but now has asked for my help in coming up with rules, consequences, boundaries and other things like that.  Please be in prayer because I want to help him but not overwhelm him.  Kids Club was good they folded a piece of paper a couple of
