Africa!

Oh my goodness! Africa! We are here and it is so amazing!

The flight was long but we made it without incident and our luggage all arrived as well so we really don't have anything to complain about. The reception that we recieved at the Mission House here in Johannesburg was awesome. Chicken and beef with gravy and salad and scalloped potatos and banana ice cream and cupcakes and much, much more. Delicious. :]

We'll be spending the bulk of our time here in South Africa with another young adult mission team made up of ten men and women from all over South Africa. When we arrived tonight they were all so energetic and eager to meet us. It was very overwhelming because I can tell that the expectations of us are high and the last thing I want to do is let them down. Keep us in your prayers for that, please!

Anyway, tomorrow we go through an orientation and find out more about what we'll be doing while we're here. I'm very excited for what God has in store for us and to see how he's going to use us throughout this trip. I hope we're as much a blessing to these people as they have been to us so far!

Thank you all for your prayers and support and know that we're praying for all the other Service Corps teams as well!

Good night!
