deedeehuey - Port Elizabeth

My Christmas break went by so fast! It was really nice to come home, see everyone and eat some normal food for a couple of weeks. I flew back to South Africa on January 5th. I made all my connecting flights, arrived safety into Port Elizabeth with all of my luggage. (Always a good thing.) The first day everyone just unpacked and got settled into our rooms.

We moved into a nice big house. All the girls are in one big room with 9 bunk beds, with a bathroom connected to their room. The guys share a room and a bathroom. Then there are 2 rooms and a bathroom for the 3 of us girl leaders. We are connected with an amazing church here in town. They've been so warm and welcoming to our team. The church family has been very gracious and donated furniture, a washer and a refrigerator to us. Here's a few pictures of our house.

The team has really bonded already. It was a big change for them to go from a team of 41 students and 15 leaders to only 12 students and 3 leaders. Our ministries won't officially start for another couple of weeks. So we are getting to know the city during this time. This week we are visiting all the different ministry opportunities. Some of the different ministries that we involved in are orphanages, a prison ministry, a woman's shelter, a children's home, and youth ministry. The students will be able to choose which one they want to serve in. They are very excited and ready to jump right in.

So far my support raising is going really well. Out of my $8,500 I have to raise I've already raised $3.400!! So I only have $5,100 more to raise!
