Living in south africa..

I haven't posted anything in a while so here it goes.. I have been living here for about 3 weeks now(: well technically i've only been here for 2. because i was in Cape Town for a week about 2 days after we got here. But it was beautiful there(: i had alot of fun! But i am living in Whiteriver here(: i have learned a little bit of Afrikaans(: and have had compliments on my pronunciation. I have also been told that i don't really have a Texan accent(: so maybe that will help me get a cool accent(: who knows? i'm working on it :D i am still trying to find people my age, although everyone here is totally accepting of me unless they need there "adult conversations" ;) but everyone is awesome(: I'm hoping to get to go to a youth group held by someone we know on friday nights. i've been there before when we were here short term but never went by myself. i'm hoping to make friends my age really soon. escpecially ones with awesome accents :D well nothing super exciting has happened other than the movement of God of course (: but we haven't had water for a week now i think. and we've been going over to the Hodge's to shower or anywhere we can really(: we use the pool water to flush the toilets and we buy clean water or boil some so we can brush our teeth and stuff like that. so it's a little different but not bad(: i really like it(:

New home and a new camera...

Well i am now living in South Africa(: and so far i love it(: it's very beautiful here and so is our new home. We have had some difficulties with the water but nothing major (: haha. so i will try to get pictures up..

Germany!

We are in germany right now(: it will be a time of resting and resting and emailing. haha! but we have a hotel room for a few hours then we will head to the airport then on to south africa! i am very excited but very tired so i will keep it short again. thanks for all the prayers and keep them up! i love you all! :D

It's here!

Today is the day of the big move(: it is 9:09am right now and our plane takes off at 4:20 in the afternoon(: i will make it short because i am suppossed to be showering right now but i am so excited and will miss everyone but it's not a goodbye it's a see you all later!

Count down(:

Well there is 16 days and 4 hours and 16 minutes until we board the plane to Frankfurt, then after a 13 hour layover we will be on a plane to South Africa, our new home(: I am more than excited! I have been waiting for this day as patiently as possible, which was not very patiently, but that's something I'm working on(:

Anyways, I have made a countdown chain like we did in kindergarten(: haha it's just a simple paper link chain and everyday i pull one off(: it's super cool(:

Well that's all for now!
