Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!

Hello Friends!!!

So I am in Potchefstroom for 2 weeks, well I have actually been here since Sunday, but I will have been here for 2 weeks. I then head back to Ingwavuma on the 4th of November. I am still going into schools and talking with students. Today we got to meet with students and talk about what is going on in their lives. In a group of 7 4 of the ladies I was talking to have been hospitalized for trying to commit suicide. One of the ladies just got out of the hospital a couple of days ago. There is a lot of pressure on both sides to have sex, the girls have to prove they are "good enough" and the guys have to prove they are men. Please pray for the students to see that their value does not come from sex or another person but their value comes from God and that makes them priceless.

I will be heading back to Ingwavuma and will be staying there until the end of November. Internet is probably not going to happen so please forgive me for not updating very often. I will be able to check my email again before I head back so feel free to send me a little "hello". Thank you for everyone who has commented on my blog or has sent me emails--I have really enjoyed them!!!

Bethany--sorry I can't put pictures on here now, I have a time limit and the internet is so slow I wouldn't even get it done. But one day Darling, I will put more pictures of me on here. Thanks for asking--I love you:)

My back is much better--thanks for all the prayers. I am out of time, but keep praying for children and for my team. I love you and will update again when I can!

p.s. My offical date of return is December 15th and my departure date is January 14th (yeah it changed again, but I get to see Sahi! :) I am spending a couple of days before Christmas with my dad, a couple of days after Christmas with my mom, and Januaray 9th with Amanda Vince. I would love to spend time with you while I am home!!! *just so you know*
