The Blog is Back (hopefully)

We have a laptop!!! Okay, we probably shouldn't be this incredibly excited about a laptop, but we totally are. It's our computer, tv, radio and entertainment system galore, so whatever. We hope to blog a few times a week now, but we'll see what actually happens.

Anyway, we are leaving Los Angeles today (boo!) after a fabulous week. It's been beautiful and sunny, and we've had so much fun. A big congratulations to Courtney and Nathan who were married yesterday! It was a wonderful day, and we are so happy that we were able to be here for it.

The countdown to having a laptop again is on!

Sorry, our posting has been terrible lately. We spent the last week (a little more) in Pretoria for our in-service training. Although the overnight bus ride was brutal, it was fabulous to see the rest of our training class again. We were stuck in sessions most of the day, but we were able to hang out during the evenings (sorry for partying, St. George Hotel). We're now back in the Eastern Cape, but only for about a week. We leave next weekend for AMERICA! Yep, we are coming to LA for about a week for Matt's sister's wedding (congrats to Courtney and Nathan!). We didn't anticipate making a trip back to the States so early, but we're really excited to see everyone (and LA will be WARM!).

And we are buying a laptop when we're there. Thank god. We promise to improve the blogging once we return.

Otherwise, things are pretty good. Our organization has not had a lot for us to do, which has definitely been frustrating at times. However, now that our three months of community integration/lockdown is over, we have the freedom to find other things to do in the community. We might help this group start a softball program for kids. We're going to visit some schools (Sara might do some teaching if they need her). There is a legal advisory center that is interested in our help (Matt is more interested in this one than Sara). Anyway, things are looking up.
