Can you believe it? In less than 6 weeks we'll embark on one of the greatest adventures we have seen yet. I can only imagine the things we will face in the next few weeks but as the last month proves, anything is possible with God.

I don't have too many updates to offer other than people have been wonderful in giving us some money. It just keeps trickling in from everywhere and it is very encouraging to see that. There are still a few people who are hurting for some cash so if you have been praying for the team, keep that one on the list.

Outside of finances, we have been fundraising and bonding as a team as we are striving to learn all we can about South Africa before we leave. These next six weeks will be full of children's ministry material and what not to do in front of tribal South Africans. We are going ot be trying to absorb as much information as we can so I pray God expands our already crammed brains for this information as we attempt to finish out the semester simultaneously. We could use prayers for that juggling act as well.

As a team, we are heading to the zoo on Friday and to say I am excited is the understatement of the century. While other teams are enjoying asian religious temples or food from their country, I found myself stumped as to how we can experience South Africa here in Denver. Clearly, watching Lion King was obvious but a trip to the zoo to meet some native Africans sounded so much better than watching animated ones. So I am looking forward to some team time as we act like small children at the zoo. It's going to be awesome.

I will do my best to get some pictures of the whole show up soon so stay tuned for that and more updates too!
