First update

So here we are in Swaziland Africa! We are all safe and sound. The last two days we have been in various Airports, planes, buses, customs check points, and hotels just to be settled into our current destination. Most of our group is struggling to adapt to the eight hour time difference. Right now it is eight in the evening. Last night we arrived in south africa after a 11 hour plane ride to a hotel for about five hours of sleep to get back on the bus for another six hours to S land.

God is already working in our trip. Our bus broke down in a random field area but it ended up in front of a small hut with small children. We were able give them books and fun stuff.

We had a great time meeting all the staff from childrens cup and healing point church. We were greeted with a fun african dance and song. Sat thru Thurs we will be putting on a huge Christmas party and program each day! I will be running the soccer station and Levi is on the relay one. levi's mom is on the dance team which is fun too!

I cannot upload pictures because I am typing on my I phone.

STUDENTS: check into club feet for me. I met an orphaned 18 month old named Jobe who has this and it is heart breaking to see. I miss you and carol guys lots!

Kelly & Levi-
Glad to hear you have all arrived safe and sound. You must be 8 hours ahead of us.......we can't wait to see photo's when you have them.

I have sent this on to the students via e-mail and I'm sure most of them will be looking up "club feet" over the weekend. Otherwise we will get some information back to you on Monday.
What is the weather like?

Stay safe and blessings to your group!

Carol
