HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's 2009!!!!

Well this is my first HOT New Year! I saw the NewYear in, in Cape Town. I had a short break there with my host family and one of the American volunteers. It was really interesting to see South Africa - it is sooo much more Western than here.

Am back in Rehoboth now and am getting ready to go back to school next week. We're having the team over tonight for a camp fire, marshmallows and maybe even a few songs!! :-)

Sometimes staying passionate about things is hard but as I begin the New Year I feel strongly that God is saying to me whatever you do, do it with me at the centre and do it with a passion!!!!

Today we made 200 sandwiches to give out to kids in the town. It is sooooooooooooo hot today that I really didn't feel like it. My passion wasn't quite there but when I got there and we gave the food out the kids faces were so happy and so thankful. Most of them hadn't eaten anything before we arrived. I got to share some time with 2 ladies who were saying they have no money, no job and kids to feed. I told them I would pray, feeling really helpless when one of them said - thats great if you would pray because I believe. It just reminded me that God is in control. If anyone wants something to pray about this week - please pray for them and kids in that block. They need it alot!!!!!!!

Think that's all for now - hope you are all well! I'm off to put my head in the freezer for a bit!

Keep in touch - thank you so much for your letters, prayers and support!!
