Monday, December 29, 2008 Office Day

Ryan, Lynn, and I went to the office today to do some work.  I had tons of copies that needed to be made.  I had to copy the introduction to the Kids Club curriculum, Lesson 1 of the Kids Club curriculum, and the January Holiday Club curriculum as well.  Needless to say there was a lot of time spent in front of the copy machine and thanks to Lynn

Lynn and I went to Ocean View Baptist today for church.  She has not gottent to experience going to a church in a colored community so I took her here because it is one of my favorite churches.  We got there and there were a lot of people not there because of the holidays but it was still an amazing service.  Everytime I go to church here I always feel

We all slept late today which was nice and then took our time getting ready and went to The Old Biscuit Mill and to answer your questions NO THEY DO NOT HAVE BISCUITS!!  Simba, Ryan, Lynn, and I went because Ryan and Lynn have never been before and they wanted to see it.  They have a huge food market and lots of little shops and it is neat just to walk around

December 23, 2008 Day Off

We decided to take the day off today because no one was working and we decided to go to downtown Cape Town to explore this really cool store we had seen on the internet.  We made our way downtown and went to this African store where everything in it is made from people in Africa and there were lots of cool items.  There was this HUGE HIPPO made out of coke cans

This morning I went into the office because today was going to do the shopping for ALL of the supplies needed for the Holiday Club in January and then the Kids Clubs for January and February!  So, Clinton (Life Skill Educator) and I went shopping....we went to this place that felt like Walmart or Target on a pre-Christmas day there were people everywhere and you could not go down the aisles

Today was a normal day of going to the office and working.  I just did some work on adding things to the curriculum on the computer. I had a couple of errands to run in the afternoon and then came home to settle down for the evening.  There was nothing big about today but it was just another day but at the same time it is another day that I get to be

Today is a public holiday and it is Day of Reconicialition.  I do not know what they are suppose to be celebrating but people have the day off.  The Holiday Clubs with the Life Skill Educators are still happening so today I decided that I would go to Masi and observe their club for a little while.  I got there and they did a little bit of singing and played lots of games.  I only

So I had the thought today to work at the office in the morning and then make my way back home and work at home in the afternoon.  I had to meet with Avril and I begin working and before I knew it...it was noon.  I spent the morning working on the Kids Club curriculum of adding extras to each and every lesson.  I worked all the way up to lesson four when Avril and I met.  We had

This morning got up and went to church.  John brought a very interesting message about why Jesus was born.  After church we came home and I worked on trying to organize my pictures.  Then we went to the internet cafe because people had to email pictures and I just went to hang out with everyone else.  We came home and I was just tired, I had not done much but I was just tired so
