Details

Things are still going well for us here in J'Bay. The weather is beginning to turn and it seems to be taking my allergies away with it, hallelujah. Kati and I wanted to share some outreach information with you. All of this stuff could change depending on the financial situation of all the students, we are supposed to buy our plane tickets next week and a lot of the students do not have the money for the plane tickets, not to mention the rest of the outreach fees. The outreach fees are quite a bit more than Kati and I had expected. Right now they are ZAR 22,000 each, ZAR 44,000 total. This is USD 6,000 for a three month long missions trip for the two of us. This is much more than we expected but we are not worried, we have the money to buy the plane tickets next week. We are tentatively spending 2 weeks as an entire school in a town about 2 hours away before we split up into teams. The other team will travel north into South Africa and our team will go west for 3 weeks. Then the other team will fly to Brazil and our team will fly to Philippines for 6 weeks. Our team is 10 students and 3 staff, the other team is 13 students and 4 staff.

We also wanted to give out the our details correctly, because we have sent out the wrong mailing address to some of you. We sorry for that, please email us if you have mailed us things to make sure that we have received them. Our contact information is now listed in a box to the left. I don't know about the customs in South Africa, so far we have had no problems with anyone's packages, including food. Please do not send money to us here, we have been told that the postal service has had trouble with corruption. If you would like to support us financially or give us money for any reason, please send it to one of our mothers (the addresses are also listed to the left). ALSO we have a cell phone and it costs us nothing to receive calls. If you can get your hands on a phone card or skype or any type of an international calling plan, feel free to call us whenever, we love you and miss you all. We uploaded more pictures too so check them out.
Enjoy the snow for the both of us.
