FOOD!

First I appologise for the length of the last post, it was kind of ridiculous:)
The last couple days we have been going to the Education campus of the University of Pretoria and talking to a bunch of guys. People here are so much more open to conversations than they are in the U.S. We can literally just go in to a persons room and start talking about whatever we want to talk about. So cool!
The other thing i want to share about is food. I am a "foodie" so you had to know this was coming. I have eaten at so many different restaurants that it is kind of crazy. I have come to a couple conclusions: first, american food is not that much worse than other countries, the people just work more and have less free time. Second, McDonald's is virtually the same all over the place(here they have a MegaMac which is a bigmac with 4 patties on it, now thats crazyness) Finally, chicken is prized more here, it is actually more expensive than beef.
I am getting ready to go to MickeyD's here in a second anyway.
Today we have stuff going on with the Campus Crusade group on campus and will get to see what it is like in another country, and hopefully see some of the people we have met so far.
Tomorrow the group is going to Cape Town for some much needed rest, a whole lot of people barely woke up this morning. Hopefully we will be able to do touristy type stuff there as well.
Thats all for now I have to leave time to go to the post office and stand in line for a few hours:)

Hi Shaun,
I'm the girl you met at Stapleton that knew Ben Mills. Tell him I am still planning to do ribs for him! He'll just have to come to Longmont to get them since I am moving (again) next Monday, the 28th.
I am so jealous of your trip to J'Berg. I hear my dad (in Manzini, Swaziland) talk about that every time I see them when they are on "holiday".
Hope you like the safari. Have heard those are awesome!!
You can also try using pomegranate for 20? It works great too!
I am praying for you guys - and have fun!

Hi Shaun! I loved your description of the worship service. Think we could re-create something similar at WVPC some Sunday? Who could we get to wail???

Peace, Mark
