In Africa, For Real!

I am finally here in Africa! So stoked! We arrived last Friday night. Since then we've been cramming in so much ministry training! I love it so, so, so much here! It now feels normal to be riding on the left side of the road, the right hand turns now feel normal. God is sooo good!

Soon, our first ministry groups will be here! Friday GE groups begin coming on Friday! My team, oh sorry, family is pretty much amazing! I can't wait to go out and start ministry and meet all the missionaries! Oh the excitement!

Oh, so since I have a lack of things to say (well more like lack of organized thoughts) here's a post from the airport!

So here I sit, in the airport, in Atlanta, with a computer that does not want to connect them to internet. So although when this might be read it will in fact be online, I did in fact just type it up. So here is a rundown of today so far:

·       -  Left my house at about 3:45am, after only getting like 2 hours of sleep (yes, it was my own fault, but whatever)

·         -Got to the Detroit area and began the search for a good place for four of us to chow on breakfast food.

·         -Since it was like 5am, this did not work out so well, so I settled for a drive through breakfast

·         -Tried checking in for my flight and for some reason it only showed that I was flying to Atlanta, no Joberg on the itinerary.

·       -  I began to silently flip out

·        - Jesus proved to me that I didn’t need to flip out, so it was all worked out.

·         -Got through security fine and began the journey to my gate.

·         -Honestly, I thought I was already in Atlanta by the time I got to my gate - it was a long walk!

·         -That flight went fine, landed in Atlanta on time

·         -Spent about an hour searching for a terminal that evidently does not exist

·         -Found a Zimbabwe art exhibit in the process of searching of said non-existent terminal

·         -Finally found my gate and began my wait.

·         -Now feeling sick, having coughing episodes (blah on germs trying to bring me down!) I had people stare at me like I was bringing back SARS

·         -Got Starbucks because I couldn’t resist

·        - Now, with 3 hours left, I sit listening to my African music and in a state of great depression because my computer will not connect to the internet.

But thats all I have for now! Stay tuned!
