11 more days...

Hey there everyone!! Well, it is towards the end of my journey here in South Africa! Can you believe it! I have been here for three months and now only eleven days till I fly to Florida! I still can’t believe how the time has flown by and I am so thankful to have been able to be here for this time in my life!

We are currently back at Shikwaru Game Farm where we started our trip here in ZA. We have been here since Cape Town and will continue to be here until we leave for Florida in 11 days! We haven’t been doing much school ministry because of the students taking their final exams over the last three weeks, but we have been doing things around the game farm and research and small schools here and there!

On Sunday of this last week we went to a Lion park, and I HELD A BABAY LION! I am hoping you get the pictures of the blog and a few weeks back I got to pet a cheetah! I tell you, the animals here are STUNNING and so is the scenery! I have to say; I miss home and all of you very very much! I am so looking forward to being able to come home and share what God has been showing me over these last few months. I am ready to be home, but we still have a little time left so I am really trying to push through and make the best of it! It gets harder as days go by because I think to myself “I can’t wait to get home” and then “What am I going to do when I get home, I am going to miss South Africa SO MUCH”. I have had very mixed emotions about it but I am so looking forward to coming back home!!!

Well, I am going to head off now, I have to do some things around here. I miss you all and love you so much! I am looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you VERY VERY SOON! I will miss you on Thanksgiving Have a great one and get a big tree mom and dad!! I miss you all and I will talk to you soon!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOMI!!!!!

So as most of you know... since you are on Dom's 'Africa Blog Site', Domi is spending her 22nd Birthday in Cape Town, Africa. Since we knew that she wasn't going to be here, we decided to take advantage of the fact that she has taken a MILLION and one pictures of herself and spent the weekend creating the perfect Birthday Extravaganza for her.. of course with special guest appearance of Dom herself :) Here is a little montage for all to see, and hopefully Dom too, of what we did and where she went to celebrate her birthday.

Places include: Hometown Buffet, Ross, Choir, College Sunday School, Plaza 4 Movie Theaters, Bethel Kitchen.. and of course Lugo Home :)


Now a message for Domi:
HAPPPPPPPPY BIRTTHDAY!!! We wanted you to feel as much love as you possibly could on your special day.. so Becca, Jon and I organized the perfect plan for your birthday celebration. Our minds went crazy for all these fun things.. and man did we get some good laughs out of it!! I want you to know that today is your day.. in Africa and at Home :) We will be celebrating all day for you!!! We love you and miss you and hope your day is filled with excitement, laughter, adventure and trucks full of love.
