8 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!

In 8 days I get to see my WHOLE family again!! My mom, Hil, Tiff and Aaron are coming to visit me!! I'm soo incredibly excited! They arrive on May 12 and will be here till the 29th. A nice good two and a half weeks!
I will be meeting them in Durban and then we will be staying there for a few days and then we will be heading to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in South Africa, for 4 days. I've been looking at pics and trying to plan what we will do and it looks so fun and so much to do : ) And it's such a blessing because we have places to stay at both cities. There is a WEC headquaters in Durban and Cape Town and both of them have been soo welcoming in letting us stay with them! I'm so grateful to God for how He is working things out for us.
Then on the 18th to the 29th my family will be coming to the mission here and will work alongside with us, doing the different ministries (children's ministries, food program, outreaches, hospital visits, etc) and as well, my brother might do some electrical work or something practical a few days he is here. I know this is God's will for them to come. I'm really needing a holiday and lately I've been just needing to see my family and it's so cool how perfect God's timing is.

It would be super if you would pray with me about a few things:

- safe flight for my family to South Africa
- that my family wouldn't experience much jet lag
- safe flight to Cape Town and safety in Cape Town/and Durban (Durban is a little dangerous...)
- planning our time together - things to do in Cape Town and at Melusi. It's kinda stressful when I've never been there (Cape Town) before and I don't know how far away things are from each other. But praise God Andrea and Katy are from Cape Town and so I'm planning on asking Andrea to come over one night this week and help me plan our time/activities there!
- Oh! Yes! Please pray about driving. As maybe some of you don't know, here we drive on the left side of the road... and so please pray that as my family drives they will be confident, and wise and will not get into any accidents. Especially driving in Cape Town. It's a really big city. It will definitely be a fun adventure for us!
- That God would really be preparing their hearts for what He has for them here and that he would do a great work in each one of their lives as the meet the local people (Zulu's) and see their cultural and lifestyle and minster to them
- That the Lord would richly bless our time together as a family in Africa

Thank you to those who will be praying for us! I will definitely share with you the pics of our time in Cape Town and at Melusi.

THANK YOU JESUS FOR THIS HUGE BLESSING!!!
