It’s finally starting to feel like summer here in Africa. We have been
enjoying the warm weather for sure! I am excited to think that I will
have 3 summers in a row! It will probably be weird to come home at
Christmas have cold weather for 2 weeks and then come back to summer
weather again!

Last week we had a very American style Thanksgiving for the
team of 50. We did ministry in the morning, then had several cooking
teams to prepare all the food. We had a nice family style meal. We
cooked extras and passed out food to the people in the community. We
all had a great time, but missed our families at home! After the meal 2
of our students get baptized in the ocean. Then we all went home and
finished off the day by watching a Christmas movie, Home Alone!

I can’t believe I only have 2 weeks left here in Jeffrey’s bay!
Time has flown by so fast! This week we are finishing up at our
ministries. We only have one week left of Discipleship and that’s it!
The last week here we will be at debrief in Saint Francis Bay, South
Africa. This will be a time of reflection over the last 3 months. It
will also be a time of fun and relaxation before Christmas break. Our
break is from December 19th- January 6th. I will be home on December
20th! I can’t wait to catch up with you all that are in Georgia. Please
pray for us as we close out this semester.

I am very excited to see what the Lord has in store for us this
next year. This past Saturday our outreach team went to PE. (Port
Elizabeth, where my team will be next year) We were able to meet the
people from the church we will be working with.
Here’s a few pictures from an elephant park part of our team went to a few weeks ago.

Our we just saw an elephant faces.
DD,
What an amazing trip you have had! I’m a little jealous, mind you. I’ve enjoyed reading about all the wonderful things that God did for you and through you while being there. You will never be the same!
It’s exciting that you get to come home for Christmas. I bet your family and friends are going crazy with anticipation.
3 Summers in a row? That is awesome, too. I love the water so that would suit me just fine.
Have a safe trip home and God bless you! Maybe I’ll run into you while your home.

Hey D…i’m excited about what God has for your team in PE as well! Looking forward to hearing more. I hope you’re staying strong and pushing through these next couple weeks..enjoy every moment!
I loved all the pics! That elephant park look so awesome! I can’t believe you have only 2 weeks left! I’m soooo glad you did this, and happy you’re gonna do it again! I know God is gonna give you that $ all over again…just like that song, “He’ll do it again!” =) Love you!
You’re so amazing! And these pictures are amazing. . .it looks like such a beautiful place. I pray you have a safe return home and raise everything you need to quickly!
I love reading your updates…makes you feel not quite so far away! I’m sad that I won’t get to see you when you’re home!! Maybe we can meet up in an airport somewhere when you go back in January, maybe?? 🙂
Enjoy your last bit of warmth for a little while. It is not warm here!!! (To day it is, but tomorrow it won’t be!!!)
Miss you!!!
