Outreach Groups

Pretoria Group

The group from Pretoria came for almost a week. I went along to help working with the children 3 days that week. It was great fun, with face painting, drawing pictures and singing songs. The children loved the attention, but i won't go on because I wrote about that in my last email (I think) but here are some photos.
Ok, Maybe not. This computer keeps making things disappear so before i reach complete frustration i'm going to leave! Ill try update photos another day. So sorry!

The Tabazimbie group came after them, but I don’t have any photos sorry!

We then went to SA which ended up being for nearly 2 weeks in the end. On the way we saw an elephant, which was the first one for me since I’ve arrived.
I stayed at my cousin’s place for 3 days, which was really nice. They’ve got a large farm where they grow all sorts of stuff like sun flowers, corn, millet, beans etc. I was there when they started harvesting the corn, which was quite interesting and something I hadn’t seen before. From there I went to Pretoria and stayed at my Aunt’s place. While I was there my mum’s niece arrived from Holland. I hadn’t seen them since I was 7 so that was interesting and a good chance to brush up on my very lacking Dutch skills! Understanding it isn’t the problem, it’s speaking it, but I managed to communicate pretty well in Afrikaans with a fake Dutch accent!

After this I headed back to Motopi and here I am. I managed to finish the first year of Sunday school for the 7 and under group, which I’m really excited about. Thanks for all the prayers, I needed them, and they were definitely heard. The last 8 lessons came in 2 days! So now I’ll revise those. There are a few little things I want to change, just making the lessons more interactive. I kind of wrote them thinking somewhere in here I could add a question etc. Then remembered I’m not the one teaching them so I’ll have to put the questions etc in!
Anyway, I’ll take a day or two to do that, then I’ll start with the new testament lessons. I wrote the other one not thinking about school holidays, so I’ll write the new testament lessons shorter than 52 weeks, then together they’ll be a 2 year curriculum with holidays. (If that makes sense?)

Anywho, all in all it’s going well here. I’ll admit I needed that break to SA, but I have been much refreshed by it and hope to get a fair bit done in the next 3 weeks before my parents get here. (Something I’m looking forward to heaps!)

So till next time, God bless you and keep you! My He guide your paths and strengthen you each day!

It's 3 May now and the first chance i've had to get on email again. As mentioned above i can't update photos now though, so i'll try another time, or maybe a little later!
