Asian Day

One of my best memories of South Africa! This happened 2 weeks before I left, I just never had the time to post some pictures till now.

The Story
4 Asians...each brought a date....the "dates" brought beer....we lounged by the pool....the Asians cooked(Asian food of course: Chinese, Japanese, and Thai)....everyone feasted!


Me and Joyce.

A bunch of happy people...maybe a little too happy.

"Who, me?"

The lovely Joyce! Oh how I miss her...she's far away in Canada now.

Then the camera went funny and took some very bright photos. Some of me and Celly...

I love this one of Celly!"Ahhhh, a little nap in the sun."

Sushi time

Say "cheeeeeeeese"!

Perfect ad for Hansa!

Lizzie cute as ever...

We just couldn't stop laughing...

Chinese whisper...

Lazy boys

Rugby

France won the Springboks! Yeah! I'm so proud of the French rugby team. Winning against the Springboks is a big accomplishment.

A New Chapter

I'm at that point in my life now, where I'm feeling a little unsure of myself and what lies ahead. I've left pretty much everything I've known for the past 3 years: South Africa, my home, my ministry, the children I've grown to love, my close friends, and last but not least my boyfriend of two years. It's been a very difficult decision, and I can't say I haven't shed a few tears...
But the Lord has shown me it's time to move on. I still struggle and question..but in my heart I know its best to trust in Him. I'm planning on coming back to South Africa in the new year..but I'll cross the bridge when I get there. For now I'm in Reunion, arrived here on the 8th, staying with my family. It's so nice to be with family. They've been such a help and support to me especially Joy.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and encouragement. I'm really counting on them, they're what keep me going during this difficult time! I know it's just a bend in the road. Like they say, "the darkest hour is just before dawn". --And that's what I'm hoping....

Greek Party

Libra Party...Greek Theme. First thing I thought was "everybody's going to be running around in sheets!", not really a pleasant thought. But the different costumes turned out to be fun and surprising...and not just made out of sheets (or curtains for that matter)! It was lots of fun and God bless the Lynwood home for organising it, it must have took a lot of work. I spent most of the time chatting with friends and saying farewell, and I did dance a bit as well. Enjoy the pictures...
Our home...before running out the door.

Me with my noble Grecian man. We actually looked up online how to properly put on a toga. It was educational! Steve's not wearing it properly in the picture, but he still looks good.

Me, and a grecian goddess I found.

More lovely laddies...

Our spartan queen--Joyce. I just loved this outfit, it was amazing!

Leilani

Surprise, surprise! Leilani came to South Africa for the PMA graduation..and I got to see her! Leila is one of those special people. The kind who you won't see for a year but when you meet again you'll still the best of friends. The kind that loves no matter what. She's so wonderful and I'm so thankful I got to see her again and spend time with her.

Fun times...

Joyce's Birthday Party--Casino Night

Awesome party in honor of dear Joyce--a lovely Libra, on the 17th of Oct. Couldn't post pictures till now because of our bandwidth situation. Don't worry it's dress-up, we don't look like this everyday!

To My Readers...

Sorry I've neglected to blog for almost two weeks now! We ran out of bandwidth halfway through the month and so we've had to cut back strictly to e-mails only as each extra gig costs a fortune. All that to say, I haven't forgotten you and I'm looking forward to posting pictures and telling you what I've been up to the past while....so hang in there!
