dankie….

Dankie is a afrikaans word we have learned over here and it means Thank you…..its pronounced Donky ……anyways we are having a great time yesterday we finsihed our young adult conference WOW so amazing,….Shawn preached and rocked This campus!  a few of us shared our testimony to a large group of college students. I really connected to a lot of the students and have made some great friends along the way. Last night we experenced something right out of a comdey sitcom….they tried to cram about 20 of us  into a tiny tiny room and meet the leadership of the christian club and eat with them…because they want to give us there best they had polished the room right before we entere dso the fumes were almost more than we could bear and i think it went to our heads because a lot of us could not stop laughing and it was hillarious….the presidkent came in to keep us distracted because the food was so delyed and he basically was begging to go to the USA and talked abuot how he was all for interracial marriage and wasnt understanding that mallory was married seriuosly it was so funny…the food never came after one hour of waiting so we left and as we were driving out the gate the men who had gone to ge tthe food were walking back onto the campus and we could see them throwing there hands up and looking so confused OMG we felt bad but we had to go…there is still so much more to share too but i want to share it in person…. TOday we went to the orphan center that our church sponsors and buillt. Oh my gosh we were greated with a marching band and a lot of festivities…one thing  i do not like is how muc hwere are treated like famous people. It is really sad that they feel they have to entertain us give us there very best etc when we have to only to play with them love them and learn from them…there are alot of things about this culture we are all having a quite difficult time adjusting to but there are many many things we totally love….boy oh boy can they dance…wow i am telling you! some of us have learned certain steps to tribal dances and we have had so much fun …the musical talent over here is unbelieveable as well,…tomorrow we are spending the day at the church Big Valley built and monday we get to go to the Lion park we are stoked! Today was one of the most touching days for a lot of us…we fed the orphans played with them and learned a lot about there stories,…we got to meet the ones we sponsor as well….it was really really tough to see the little cildren with the HIV aids virus and the sores on there bodies…to know the reality of them making it to there 12th birthday is so slim makes my stomach turn into knotts…please pray for us we are all very emotionally drained physically drained and a lot of  our team is having issue with health…..Love to all at home missing you and praying for you….
