South Africa 2016

Hello everyone!

Sara and I landed in South Africa on Sunday and it has been great to be back!

Our team is from the US + Canada offices: Will + Kristal (CA) + baby Frances, Frank + Crystal (CA) and Sara (US), Suzette (US) and I (US). it's great to spend time on the ground in Africa, but also with each other - we rarely get to see each other face to face!

Monday was a really easy day. We essentially had the day off to catch up with everyone here at the HUB. Tuesday we went into Somerset with Audrey. Yesterday we went back to Welverdiend, where I did my community stay 3.5 years ago. Today we're going to Siyathuthuka! I'm so excited because they love the same songs I do, so for once I can sing and actually know the lyrics. We're back in Siyathuthuka tomorrow for community prayer, before having some down time. Saturday we leave for Oshoek, where we'll spend one night before going on to Swaziland for three nights. We're all really challenged about what we'll see, but also very excited!
