Ok not gonna lie, my heart is racing. It feels great to be online again!!!!!!! Haha. I have a half hour, so I'm copy-pasting all my stuff from this week. If I have time I will upload a few pix! I'm doing great and loving Africa! I am posting several entries.... so make sure to scroll all the way down to Sat Feb 21 :) Sorry, small novel. Maybe I'll publish a book when I get home.
This morning we got to drive through Kruger National Park. It was awesome! We saw two of the big 5- elephant and cape buffalo. Lots of baboons, impala, zebra, giraffe, and even a mongoose. ha. Anyway, tomorrow we are headed to KosiVay in KwaZulu-Natal. We will be there for the next 3 weeks. It is close to the Indian Ocean, although we are not sure if we will go all the way to the coast. Apparently we will be star guests at an Afrikaans 21st bday when we get there... should be interesting. Tonight we have our first authentic Afrikaans meal. Clean plates are a must, like it or not.
Miss you all! Lots of love~ Renee :)

Renee, I can't describe what a powerful impact your blog entries have for me. It is a combination of the content and your personal writing style that sends shivers and brings tears. Thanks for sharing so well. I will be looking forward to the next time you come on the internet. I am so proud of you that you dared to seek out this amazing experience and that you are touching these children's lives with love.

ReplyDeleteHi Renee. This is Hillary's mom and I am following your team's every move! I am also praying for you all and look forward to hearing what God is doing! God Bless you!
ReplyDeleteWow, Kosi Bay is really remote, wedged between Swaziland and Mozambique. If you like outdoor adventure, then you will love it. http://www.kznwildlife.com/ I visited the Afrikaans town of St.Lucia. One day was enough. It was like an American, all white, little beach resort like one might find in Florida. I felt comfortable in these familiar surroundings, but that is not why I chose to go to ZA. I was able to hear the white side of the story by talking to Afrikaans people who were offered retirement packages to leave government back in the 1990s. Be sure to ask about the country over the last 15 years when you are at your birthday party.
ReplyDeleteHey Renee! So I finally decided to join this blog thing ... I mean, I have been following your blogs pretty regularly, but I decided to actually make a name or something ... haha, at first I thought I would have to create an extensive acount which is why I didn't do it, but apparently I could just use my AIM screen name, thus the ridiculous "crazee334" but anyways, it is amazing to read what you are experiencing. I am sure this will change your life forever! Continue in the grace the Lord Jesus has given you, be strong in Him and share his Word! Much love! -andrea
