Stop the insanity, internet time 2 days in a row, impressive.
Ok so I will attempt to cpntinue where I left off.
We were supposed to be back in town at 7 for a traditional meal, but God had a team building exercise planned instead. One of the guys was on the beach and got hurt so we ran down the hill(I say hill but it was almost a mountain-but I am from Colorado so it is a hill) then we put him on a stretcher and carried him back up taking turns carrying. It was a scary time but also a time when out group came together a little bit and we were able to see some new people step up and use their skills. We waited for the ambulence and then returned to the waterfront because it was about the only thing that was open at the time we returned to CapeTown.
After some intense prayer sessions we heard back from the leader that stayed with him. He was completely fine, only 4 stitches and a couple of scrapes. He was able to come home the same night. I can't say a lot but I will fill people in once I come back, well possibly. Basically we think it was a miricle that he escaped with those few injuries.
We slept in once again and then headed to the airport after lunch, it was another short flight with a couple minor glitches, but over all a smooth transition.
We came back to Joburg and then drove to Pretoria and had to go the the opening day of Missions Week where of course we were labeled the "loud Americans" (people talk really quietly here). We joined in singing worship songs some in English and some were we just kind of hollered at a pitch trying to come up with what they were saying, occasionally sounding like we were going to spit on others during the Afrikans songs. Then a guy from the United States came out and apparently we have an accent or something because we were the only people that understood th entire thing. We did more of the same yesterday and tonight we are going to be at the educator's campus. We are preparing to close out the trip and will finish up our "work" on Friday. Saterday we are going on a Safari and then Begining to adjust back to Life in the States and all of our less friendly less open people. This week will be filled with amazing time to eat free food and enjoy what we have done the past few weeks.
Ok we are officially caught up again. Look for pictures when I get back and TAFN.
