The Purposed Trek

I have arrived in South Africa, safe and soung and my luggage all together the way it was packed - thanks to my Mom and Tisha. Duct tape sure is great. When Rich and I pulled in, I was met by hugs from each kid and Michelle and handed a card from the kids welcoming me to their country and home. We had dinner together and then some of their friends came over to hang out who are from Oregon and Washington doing missions work here as well. I am all nestled in bed now as I write this with an electric heater going, under 3 blankets, winter pajamas on with socks and multiple pillows to block out some of the cold air. Amazing how cold 50 degrees feels when you don't have central heating. But the weather is supposed to warm up throughout the week. Just wanted to send a big shout out to everyone who has supported me throughout this process of getting here, financially and emotionally. It has meant the world to me. As time goes on I hope to provide updates more frequently than I have been. I will send an email out later next week with contact information once I learn of it and how the postal system here works.
