I miss Africa...

I think about Africa more and more each day and I just desire to go back again... soon. I loved what I did there and I found that I had purpose and "life" there : )

I miss my Judy. I miss each child I got to hang out with. I miss each of my team members. I miss having good, deep talks about life and God. I miss being foreign.. haha. I miss trying to learn the Zulu language. I miss the church there. The congregration members. I miss my friend Andrea. I miss so many friends there. I want to go back for another year again. When I'm there I want to travel around more and see more of South Africa as well. It is such a beautiful country! And I want to go on more camping trips there too! And I just want to hang out with my friends/team members there more than last year. I want to make the MOST of it! It is such an incredible experience so I want to do all that I can do while I'm there : )

K, back to the present/past few weeks... I've been in Stoon for two and a half weeks now. Been able to see many many friends which has been great! I've went to three movies at the theatres.. pretty awesome. Been able to share my pictures and stories of Africa with some friends. Went to visit my two previous job places and see my co-workers again. That was nice. And I went out for lunch with my boss, Lisa. Got the chance to practice driving standard IN THE CITY!! in a Honda Prelude (thanks Pam!). Um... I got to go to this fancy dinner with T at the TCU place... and found out we were the ONLY ones wearing jeans! haha good times. AND GOT TO MAKE CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES!! Carley and I decorated them. Took us about 2 hours to decorate about 30 of them. We listened to Christmas music as we decorated. It was soo much fun. I miss Christmas!!

AND I went to Regina two weekends ago and met up with Jenny and Helen (two girls from bible college). It was SO awesome! Us three LOVE hanging out together. We have a good time every time and every year we try to get together and meet somewhere.

So ya, its been fun being in the city. On Tuesday Car and I are heading out to Leader to visit Chris and pull an all-nighter till 5 in the morning and drive back to the city in time for Car to get to her class 8:00 in the morning on Wednesday. I hope we can do it! Then I will be going back to Meadow for a bit until I get to go to Nipawin!! I'm so excited for alumni weekend! Friends!Indoor soccer! Hockey game! Late nights!

So I wanted to add pictures to this new post.... but apparently it's not wanting to work for me...sorry.. I know how pictures make a post much better and interesting!

Check ya later
