finally internet

(apologies in advance for all spelling and grammar... i was in a hurry)
Monday: so monday started out as a day without plans and turned into a packed awesome day. the last blog was sent from the TC office so this is what went on after i left there...
Paul, pastor augustine, kylee and i drove to elizabeth hynd's new hop centre orphanage. we met a girl from australia that came for 3 days to visit and stayed for 3 years. crazy! That night we had a final farewell party for the CLC guys and don and elaine smith. after pizza it was such a God time. incredible and completely indescribable.
Tuesday: we went with the CLC team over to the site of the new Hawane church and orphan home and prayed over it. after the guys left for the airport kylee and i cleaned the team house and took all of their left over food (major blessing!) Liz (teacher/volunteer from england) took the 4 of us girls grocery shopping. i made dinner for my american and irish roomies. and then we had Hawane cell group with Ntokozo, Sabelo, and Nick. it was great. (there is so much other stuff that i had written a blog about on my laptop so this is the condensed version. :( )
Wednesday: it was kylee's birthday so we made a banner and put up balloons. we spent the day taking inventory and moving into don and elaine's old house... yes, i have a house. haha. we also got our schedules. i'm going to be working with the 5 homeschoooled kids and preschool. we went to potter's wheel cell group and it was fantastic.
Thursday: i cleaned, redecorated, organized, and rearranged our house. There was a large brown horse outside of our kitchen window... weird. no worries though. i got a lot accomplished. i went into town with liz and shoprite (grocery store) caught on fire! it was chaos! we had hawane teen girls cell at night and then a birthday party for kylee. it was fun and we played games and goofed off.
Friday: i walked over to the hospice (on the farm where the homeschool meets) and hung out and got to know the kids i'll be working with. we had youth group for the teens on the farm. there were 20 of us and i shared and we played some games. it went really well.
saturday: it is nasty rainy misty cold wet foggy gross outside. the weather changes quickly and drastically. we went grocery shopping briefly in the morning. and for lunch... jane, the nurse from england, took us to hawane resort. it was the coolest getaway place. i'd love to expound more on that later. lol. good food. good conversation. we played some board games last night.
sunday: church was good. it's still freezing and the internet is so frustrating here when you are used to instant wireless.

alright i gotta go there is a queue (line)
pray the internet works soon.
love and miss you all.
sorry this wasnt too detailed!
ps. this week i'm going to game reserve and cultural village.
happy still :D
