Knee operation

On September 26th, the day after my birthday, I was walking to our afternoon session at the Hats and Glasses camp. Out of nowhere, I got a searing pain in my right knee. I tried to walk it off, but nothing seemed to help. For weeks after we were back from the camp, the pain had remained. The orthopedic specialist that I needed to see my knee would have cost more than we had, and so we prayed that God would either 1. heal the knee on the spot 2. provide money for the doctor, or 3. provide us with a free doctor. God is so faithful always and He chose to provide for me by providing a free doctor. An orthopedic specialist agreed to see me for free and confirmed that the knee needed surgery to repair it. The arthoscopy surgery went very well and now 5 weeks later, I am walking and praising God!

Happy Birthday Kuyasa

At the Learning Centre, I write the curriculum for our Preschool- Grade 4 students. Each week we have a different theme to liven up the math and English lessons. This past week I decided to have a fun theme... Happy Birthday! Many of our students have never celebrated a birthday, so the thought of a big Kuyasa birthday party was just too exciting. I told the kids that it was Kuyasa's birthday, so they went around all day singing "Happy Birthday Kuyasa!" I brought each class a cake to decorate, and that must have made their whole month. We had double the students that we have normally, and if the were loud all we had to do was mention the cake, and the room turned instantly quiet. It was really a fun and funny day!

Our First Anniversary

I am excited to report that Neal and I have just celebrated our 1st Anniversary last Sunday! Things have been so busy lately that we loved our 4 day vacation camping in the Bainskloof Mountains. For 4 whole days no one called for sisCindy, which is a big improvement from the 1000 times a day I hear it now! Our camping site was just an hour drive from where we live, and we got to try out our new tent (that we got for free!) We call ourselves "Team de Beer," cheesy I know, but thats who we are. Unfortunately we were too busy doing nothing at all that we didn't take any pictures. :o)

My Frist Blog ever!

Well, it seems that the world has gone Blogging crazy, and I figured that although I fall behind in new music, and new here in South Africa, I can stay on top of things in a blog. I hope that you all will enjoy walking with me on all my crazy adventures.
