Hey friends... this past weekend was definitely not a normal one! I stayed the whole weekend with Ruth Anne Holiday (one of our MKs "missionary kids"). Her parents went to Mpumelanga to the wedding of one of the pastors that we work with here. Ruth Anne had a big horse-show this weekend that she really didn't want to miss, so they asked me to stay with her all weekend. So... I did. Fun times! (mostly... hehe) So, here are a few photos from a couple things we did this weekend...On Saturday, we went to a "4th of July" party that the Northcliff Union young adults put on. It was actually put on by my small group. The funny thing is, it was a South African who insisted that we celebrate it! Crazy, hey? We had lots of fun though. My Mom sent us lots of decorations and things to help make the party more "genuine." We had the "bbq" at Dave and Aprile Sleight's house... they are American missionaries too. Dave made a CD of all sorts of songs that mention US states or cities. And he played the national anthem and we had to sing along before we ate! Funny...

What I don't understand is why there was a 4th of july part in august?
oh i guess I should have figured that out
better late than never, eh?
haha... yeah, everything does seem to be slower here. One of the common phrases is thing happen on "Africa time." One of the real reasons though that it was so late was that on the 4th of July, Aprile and Dave were in Mozambique (along with some of the other young adults) and there was a team here that I was involved with. So by the time everything settled down, it was already August! :)
