My new home!!

So I have finally settled in to my permanent place of living!! It is rather nice, and also quite big. I start Monday following around Lyndee who will kind of be my trainer in the courses I will be teaching. I will spend two weeks working with her and then I will be on my own working in a city called Pamperistad. The schools here just let us come in and teach courses, as long as the principle is cool with it. I will probably be in 3 or 4 schools to start teaching 1 or 2 classes at each. I will most likely be doing the operation HIV course which teaches about abstinence from a christian perspective. I should have internet in the next few weeks on a consistent basis, so I will be able to better keep up with you all on a more individual basis. Thanks for the prayers and support! talk to you again soon!!! Here is my address in South Africa.

Language is over!




Hey so my two week crash course in language is now over! It was actually not to bad, I can introduce myself and do greetings and ask some simple questions. So right now I am currently living in Rustenburg which is about 5 hours from Hartswater my final destination. I am leaving Sunday for Hartswater, but I wont actually move into my place until Tuesday, because that is when all my furnishings will arrive. Hopefully with in the next two weeks I will start to get training in what i am going to be teaching, and start teaching! I have had a great time in Rustenburg my team that lives here has been great at helping me get adjusted and making me feel part of team. We went on a safari last week and it was great! I have pretty much all the crazy animals of Africa except for the elephants and giraffes. Thank you for all the prayers! I will write again soon!
