I'm in Africa!  Things started out rough, but I know God is with me.  Jeffreys Bay isn't what I had anticipated.  I expected to see many wild animals, tribal people, and take showers in the nearest body of water.  Instead, I live in a house with several other girls, live in town, and take showers like in America.  The only animals I see are dogs that are with their owners.  The ocean looks amazing, but I haven't spent much time on the beach because the temperature is usually around 60 degrees, but it is still winter here. 

           Jeffreys Bay does have its differences.  A few of us were stopped at a cross walk and traffic stopped just so we could cross to the other side.  The speed limit appears to just a suggested speed because everyone drives so fast!  I walked in the community (the poorest parts of town) and saw such need for hope.  It brought my life into perspective.  These people have nothing, and yet they smiled and said hello as I passed each person.  I am so excited and humbled when I think God chose me to have this opportunity to minister to these wonderful people.  Thank you God for this opportunity!
