Well one year ago today I left Nashville to start a new life in Cape Town!  Yes I have already been crying this morning but it is a good thing!  I got a call this morning and had to go to a meeting this morning with some Living Hope staff about starting a partnership to create a parent curriculum.  It was a cool meeting and getting to the parents and

We got back late last night after spending the past two days on a backpackers bus.  We literally were on a bus for 14 hours one day and like 13 the other.  We were all ready to be home!  I got all of my belongings from our ACTS house and moved to the Team House where I have my own flat(studio apartment).  It has a bed, bathroom, sink,  and little

WOW this week has gone by so fast!  I have had the opportunity to spend some time with my friend Kirsty who was here for three months this summer when I first arrived.  She was a volunteer from England and we just really hit it off.  We have been catching up all week.  We went to Jakes house on Tuesday night to spend

Got up and got ready this morning and went over to Masi for morning devotions.  When I got in the room, I was asked to do the devotion so I had to quickly pull a devotion together.  I guess this is one of those times when you should always have a devotion ready because you never know when you may be asked to lead one.  I got one together and afterwards

It was just a normal work day.  I did get home from work and call Metro Schools in Nashville to find out about what paper work I need to fill out with taking another year's leave from teaching.  Well I found out some interesting news on the phone.  I will have to resign my job.  Apparently the news I received last year before I left was

This morning I went with Ryan to Capricorn church for their Good Friday service.  The kids in the church did a drama that portrayed Jesus going to the cross.  They did such a great job, that church is filled with some amazing youth with such gifts!  After church, I came home and just did some work.  It was a public holiday so I spent the

I went to King of Kings this morning for church.  The cool thing was that Scott Harris (Missions Minister from BBC) preached so it was like a little bit of home was here!  After church I had to do some last minute shopping for Holiday Club week so I had to take care of that.  Then I came home and sorted the stuff that was bought and just took the

Today was one of those complete unplanned days.  I got to the office in M'berg and the internet was not working!  There was nothing I could do except make my copies which was not going to take that long and I was stuck with nothing to do.  Well, never think there is nothing that needs to be done!  I ended up helping with entering

I worked from the  M'berg office today.  It was kinda like every other day.  I was trying to get everything together for the training tomorrow.  I was busying making craft examples so we would have them for the training.  In the afternoon I went over to the church to get everything set up so that I would not have to do it early in

We all decided to sleep late this morning and just relax!  Then we decided to go to the Waterfront which is the mall because Chris (one of the vols from England) has never been there so we went for the afternoon. When we parked the car, BETTY (car name) decided she did not want the driver's side window to roll up.  This was a little
