were here!!!!

well were here!!!
this is going to be short cuz Im at an internet cafe and only have about 10 minutes left!!!

We made it safely to South Africa! After the awful bumpy plane ride ( i felt so out of control-the most I have ever felt) we landed in SA a week ago today. It feels like a month.
I am writing so that you know that God has been faithful-not only in providing for my physical needs, but emotionally as well. I actually like some of the food here, and we have been able to go to some fun places like menlyn mall (kind of reminds me of charlotte nc) and pic n pay :)
it is def different here than in the us-the toilets dont flush alot and we have had the electricity go out a couple of times.
some things that have been hard for me are my trusting in the Lord and fear here. I feel unsafe, esp when we are drving. And I have not had internet access at the house, but it should be fixed soon!
I am in the same dorm that em was in and my ministry partner is ashton!! i am so excited to go to the dorms and share! And i am learning so much about Jesus here- I want to continue to grown in my identity in Christ and really be willing to do anything for HIs sake. I have seen alot of my self focus here as well.
We are going to teh JWC, like ATL this week, so maybe i will write next week!
here are somethings i love ab SA so far:
the accents!
the beautiful palm trees
our team :)
the lack of humidity
my awesome roomies! christine ashton and sara b
having long quiet times

thats it for now!!!
