My First Days in South Africa . . .

Moving to the campus of 13th Floor near Pretoria is not so different then my first month adjusting to my life as a college student at the University of MN.  I am FAR from home and familiarity, living in tight quarters with dozens of young adults between 19-21 years of age, and wondering what I have gotten myself in to.  Then I remember that I am exactly where I am supposed to be, I am going to grow through trusting God in all circumstances, and some amazing memories will be built.  Then, I take a big sigh, and all feels better. 

Fun Adventures so Far: 1) Lighting lanterns on New Year's Eve with Damian and his family, 2) Surviving an extreme wilderness camping experience in the bush, 3) Singing in an audition (can only appreciate when you know I don't even sing alone with the radio when I'm alone), 4) Surviving days with little or no sleep, 4) Three weeks of no Internet connection (I survived) and lastly, 5) I am having to juggle the roles of producer, advisor, dance teacher, actor, and dancer.
