quick update!

I leave for my first day at my service site in a matter of minutes! I am so anxious to get there and see what they will have us doing and meet the ladies and children that we will be working with! We were told that the women's Aids support group meets today, so we'll likely be meeting them on our first day, but who knows! I'll find out soon enough! My lunch is packed with a peanut butter and jellly sandwich (which I'm likely to get tired of very rapidly after packing one every for service site) and I have tennis shoes on my feet. I'm saying a prayer and I think that's about the best I can do to be prepared for this day!

Say a prayer for me if you think about it today,
actually, if you could say a prayer for everyone going to their different service sites today, that would be great.
LOVE

Love is the only shocking act left on the planet

The people that I am here with in South Africa are beautiful. Absolutely, some of the most beautiful hearts. It makes me just well up with emotion when I see what kind, loving, and considerate people I am here with.
