God’s Will = Perfection. Last time from South Africa. Love You All!

Well my friends…here I am, less than 7 hours till I leave, and I’m writing one more time. (told you I would :)  

I had a good last night with the kids.  We all had a big meal together that Sybil so graciously prepared.  It was chicken, mashed potatoes, garlic spaghetti, rolls, and some ice cream with strawberries for desert.  Don’t be surprised if you don’t recognize me when I get back cause I know I definitely added a couple extra pounds!
After we ate supper, we waited for the sun to go down and it was dark.  8 of us played a sweet game of Hide-&-Seek.  It was a lot of fun.  At one point, I was trying to climb a tree to hide in it, then all of a sudden one of the branches I was putting my weight on snapped and I fell to the ground.  It was pretty funny though because I was probably only 6 or 7 ft in the air falling to my back.  Those who saw the incident laughed and so did I but not for long cause I didn’t want to give away where I was.  : )
A couple weeks or so ago I was out with Mama and Phumlani doing some food shopping for one of the Christmas parties we were throwing and saw the BIGGEST bag of cheeto’s I’d ever seen.  It was probably a 4ft tall bag.  And the best part is that it only cost $3.50!!! I couldn’t resist.  ha.  After the Hide-&-Seek game last night, we ate the WHOLE bag of cheetos.  I’ll be honest with you, the amount that I ate was pathetic.  Khanyisa was like a garbage disposal though.  She didn’t stop.  The whole floor was a mess cause we pretty much just poured the whole thing on to the table infront of all of us and ate until we couldn’t anymore.  Even Lisa ate a tone! Lots of fun. 

I received a lot of emails from you all replying to the “last email from South Africa.”  Thank you for that.  I just wanted you to know because I’m not going to be able to respond back with such little time here left.  I appreciate beyond belief everything that you guys have done for me.  I have never felt such love and support from someone, besides my family, ever before.  Thank you for trusting me and allowing God to use you in the lives of so many.  They will never forget it, and neither will I.

p.s. Please pray for safety flying home.  This always happens to me the day before I am scheduled to fly somewhere but yesterday I got sick from the lack of sleep I’ve been allowing my body to have.  My throat and chest feel completely closed up and as if they’re about to explode every time I cough.  Pray that I’m able to rest and get some sleep and that it doesn’t get any worse.  Thank you guys!
