It's about time I got to write on this bad boy! When I woke up in the morning after we arrived, reality finally kicked in. I am in South Africa! Well, it has been a ball so far, im not kidding! I knew it was going to be hard work so on the first day myself, as well as everyone worked like mad and you know what, that first day really set the ball rolling, we havent stopped and each day is more amazing by miles and miles.
Each morning I wake up not knowing what to expect and I love it! My emotions, eventhough I havent Showed them quite as much as others, are absolutly all over the place. On Wednesday when we did the Time capsual, was just, unbelieveable, I think thats the closest word I could ever say that can explain what that experiance was to me. The school. Oh my goodness. To witness such amazing talent in what is, the middle of nowhere, so much welcome, heart and trust that the community have in us is just amazing. We was playing with the children today and to hold a strangers hand and hug them in a way that they did to us is magical. To learn their songs and cute little dances is so funny and this jurney is just a barrel of laughs with them kids around! Such amazing kids its going to be a heart breaker to leave them all, and Princess. I think shes really starting to believe this is happening to her, shes being given a new chance to start a new life and a home, new mamories and amazing times, we are helping to give her this oppertunity and I can not physically put in words how good that feels.
I cannot believe this is happening to me, and to share all these experiances with such amaing people and people that have such personalities makes me happy to be a part of this project and this team. These people, what were strangers to me not long ago are now such amazing friends! And guys, I plan to stay in touch with each and every one of you, your bloomin' amazing guys! And so special to me already!
Reading all theses posts is really uplifting so please keep them flowing. It does sound such an amazing experience - especially the connections you have made with the kids and Princess in such a short time. It is great to see how the build, while being the lasting outcome, is only a part of the overall positive experience you are all having.
