As I was sitting in the Airport in GA, I thought God what are you getting me into? My fear of leaving hit me. I'd passed security and wasn't going back. The journey to get here was long and hectic. We started with a two hour flight delay. After arriving we couldn't find Mr. Palmer. He was told we would be three hours later than we were. After we were picked up, we stayed in Joburg in a Chinese church. The next morning we set off to come to Shayandima. A six hour driver turned into a 16 hour drive. We had a lot of stops to make. We also blew a tire and the trailer broke! Send me and email or Facebook message if you'd like to hear more humor from it. The first two weeks we had bootcamp. Upon arriving we had 5 minutes to pack a bag of things for two weeks. Hello freak out for me! WE camped around base the entire time. We did lots of work projects. They are building a hall for a gym and more classrooms/offices. We got the awesome privilege of painting, stacking bricks and of course trench digging. Neat the end we began to realize how much we were relying on God. We hand washed our clothes, took bush showers, changed our sleeping area and had to trust people we just met. We learned to cuddle with Jesus, we focused on Him and less our selves. Prayer becomes our new best friend. Those weeks we learned that God is all we needed in life.
Now to what we've done sense then... A basic week consists of base devotions every morning. We then go to help in the school all day. I work with grade 1 (love it). Everyday is something different after school. We have orphanage twice a week, maintenance, financial class and special school. Every Saturday is different. We have church and hangout on Sunday.
