a day with the family

Today was such a great day. 

We all went to the refugee camps again, and they went SO great! at least for me anyways. This was something i have been praying about as well, and i think finally i just had enough energy and strength to go around and involve myself with the kids like i had longed to. 

So after that we had the rest of the day off!

We came back, had lunch, and then a super long meeting to map out the rest of our weeks here- which naturally, like the rest of south africa, is still indefinite, but i am completely cool with that. :)

Well, we then went to and internet cafe where my bag was almost stolen but Dyson was incredible and saved it for me! (Thank you Dyson!!) and we then, after shopping at the Pick and Pay (like a grocery store) we headed back to the B&B (Bed and Breakfast) for dinner, and THEN we got to have family time! 

AHH!! sooo much fun! haha. 

So, Kirsty (aka Mother Hen), Sam, Margaret, and I all made brownies, with fresh cut chocolate shavings in them, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chop muffins, and... i think that's it (we were on a chocolate high it seems. ha!) and we all had a dance party while were doing it... and a dance party while we cleaned, etc. it was a blast! 

we then all sat around and played games like mafia and just really enjoyed bonding with one another... i will never forget about this... it was filled with such priceless moments. 

Oh! and i forgot to mention that today was like mid-high 60's and sunny! i actually fell asleep outside it was so wonderful, and that does not happen. 

So, the Lord really blessed this day- as He always does- and provided for us beyond measure. It was glorious. :) 

Tomorrow we have the day off, as well as sunday, and we are going to see the penguins and who knows what else, but margaret is quite ecstatic. :)

But i'm sure i will have a lot to write about afterwards. So, until then!
