Africa-thank you!

Written by kelly on December 30th, 2008

First, we are so very thankful for our host family, the Meneses, who welcomed us into their home and let us sleep and eat as much as we wanted! Also, we rather enjoyed spending time with them.

Here is a photo of us with them on our last day:

Also, we could not have done half as well with the children during the leadership camp and holiday club if it wasn’t for the youth workers. I wasn’t able to get a photo of everyone, but I’ll share what we have:

And we don’t have photos of them, but we are so thankful to Glenda for allowing us to be part of the ministry of iThemba Lethu for our time in Durban and to Anton and Derik who drove us around and made sure we had everything we needed and Ang and Alison who spent time with us and brightened our days each time we were in the office and Liz for taking us around and letting us join in an outing to the beach and for Mark who drove Jonathan and I home and told us about the area. Also, we are so glad that Patrick and Shannon were able to be our tour guides for a day and tell us more of the history of Durban and take us to places we wouldn’t have otherwise seen! We are grateful for your hospitality and you’re all welcome at our house anytime!

 We can’t forget our team: Jodie, our fearless and organized leader who helped us roll with the punches and be flexible and Natalie, Lisa, Tami and Kinsey who were always there supporting and encouraging us and each other. You truly made the trip for us! Thank you!
