Indian Ocean!

Well this week has gone by super fast! My test in Zulu went well i got a b! which is way better than i thought i would do. This weekends weekends homework will consist of studying for next weeks verb test. yay! but enough about homework. I just finished packing for the weekend. We are all going camping on the beach! well not really camping, we are staying in cabins but thats what the professor called it. Im so excited! we are staying with an indian community and we get to cook with them and experience their culture. Did i mention we get to go to the beach! but not just any old pacific ocean. We get to swim in the Indian Ocean! How cool huh! The water is supposed to be really warm so we will see. The weather is supposed to be really nice and hot which has its ups and downs. I will hopefully remember to put on a lot of sunblock so i dont get burnt which i always seem to do.

This week was good. Mostly consisted of school and eating. We went to visit our service sited on wed. In a couple of weeks we will start going to a site and helping out with whatever they need. Im really excited! There was a site that was a relief house for abused women and children. I really hope i get that one because its not just that specific thing. You also get to help with a feeding scheme which is like a food shelter. So you get to help cook and serve the homeless. And you get to work at a school. S0 you get to see little kids some but not too much. We visited another site which was a school for young kids. It was really fun! I just think i would be better suited for the other site. There is also 3 other sites that we have not seen so i might get one of those too. It will just be nice to help out others in the community in some way.

Today at chapel we had a guest speaker named Sean Wisedale. He was the first South African to climb Mt. Everest. Imagine being the first person on your continent to do something! He told us all these crazy stories about all the mountains he has climbed. It seems crazy! He is a film maker so i got his dvd and i cant wait to watch it. I want to climb a mountain now!

Well its lunch time now. Then we leave for the ocean after! I will tell all about it when i get back!

Love you all :)
