4 months down. . .

. . . and only 2 months actually closer to 8 weeks left.  I have been sick this past week, which has been interesting.  At one point my power was out-just my building, not any of the others.  We had to run an extension cord for my fridge so my food wouldn't spoil.  I got to thinking, usually at home when the power goes out for long periods of time there is usually snow out side and so the contents of the freezer end up in the snow bank just out side the back door.  And if most food needs to be keep either below or above a specific temperature without spoiling, if I had put my meat out in the sun would it still be okay?  One day it was so hot I couldn't sleep.  I am managing and getting better, prayer works! I was able to go to Johannesburg last week for a couple days to visit two other Bethany Interns.  It was so nice to see Jess and Rachael, and get a taste of what they are doing for ministry.  I got to go to the squatter camp where they help out with a children's program.  In that area there are about 2 million people living in all different kinds of housing, mainly one room houses.  Some are government built and have running water, others are makeshift dwellings.  The children were really cute and I was glad I had the opportunity to play with them, although I missed the children I usually teach at the care point.
