Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday was our fun day, and that is exactly what it was! We started the day off by traveling to the beach all the kids really enjoyed themselves. Afterwards we headed over to some shops where the students were able to buy gifts and things to remember this great country by. After the beach we headed to the Game Park, or rather a Safari! We saw many animals but the most exciting was the Rhino. After the game park we headed to Deshni's parents house for a wonderful dinner, it was like a home away from home for us all.Today we have gone to the Aids Respite and learned much, we will soon be heading to Kwadabecka to drop off a basketball net, and basketball sneakers, and we will be wrapping our day up with some street ministry. The students are really being stretched this week and learning much about how great our God truly is. Love and miss you all!!

Hello SA team! It's susie in very chilly NE! Been praying for you and studying along with you! My prayer is that you "walk worthy of the calling with which you were called" and that you watch for those moments that HE works "exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think!"
How lucky that you saw those rhinos!!

See you all SO soon!
