Why did the chicken cross the road?
I actually think they don't...they stand in the middle of the road and stare at you until you get out of your vehicle until you get out and chase it... oh that ruins more jokes...other fowl news...we were driving back from Golie (more on that later) and ducklings were swimming in a mud hole...SO CUTE!!! let's hope they're still alive!
This has been an fun week- Our DTS left for outreach today (praise report; the base vehicle is working!! ok, so it sounds like itmight break down, but still it's getting them to outreach)--we had a love feast and killed goat (roasted too...yum!) and decorated the meeting hut--remember mud hut with grass roof-- with snowflakes- I'm teaching african children to make snowflakes- ;) hee hee..they LOVE it, although they have no concept of snow!
I found myself the speaker for one day for a youth pastors conference in Golie- Here's the fun part- they didn't give us the topic they wanted us to teach or for how long-- they were supposed to pick me up at 7 am Monday and came on Tuesday at 1!!! Welcome to Africa-- when I got to Golie I was dropped in my room (I HAD A LIGHTBULB!!!! WOWIE!!) and left me there...for hours...so, when was i going to speak? This was all becoming funny--anyhow they finally (about 8ish) told me i'd be speaking the next day and disappeared saying they'd show me the schedule soon! Soon became on the way to class the next morning and the schedule was me...until 4 in the afternoon- 6 1/2 hours of teaching with a half hour break for lunch-- turned into an amazing day (though they kept trying to marry me off to the single pastors...how many cows and goats am i worth?) and amazingly i had MORE than enough material- luckily i like to talk! All in all a funny and great experience--
The ywam run preschool had their end of term graduation on Friday- we killed 2 goats- and I , like South Africa, found myself cutting up gobbs of intestines, heart, stomach, and about anything else you can think of... I smelled like goat for the rest of the day-- really really smelled like goat-- then i found the hide hung up with my clothes pins on the clothesline- delightful...ha ha ha...
Much more to say but the internet is SLOW!!! Love to you all and talk to you soon!
cheers mates!

Sounds like you're enjoying Africa.. the real Africa, and God is using you! It's great to hear how you're doing... keep the blogs coming (when you can).
BTW, we'd all like to see your new dance moves too when you get back... hehehe.
