BBC Going Live in 3…2…1…

For those of you who don't know where Zimbabwe is...it is NOT located near Ebola
One of the best parts of international airports are all the different languages and accents. The Phoenix; Heathrow (near London); Johannesburg, South Africa (yes it is a country!) and Harare (the big city in Zimbabwe) airports all contained an ample supply of British accents.
               The first leg of our trip went from The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to the London Heathrow International Airport. The flight was quite uneventful, although I did enjoy watching Alexander and the Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In addition to these movies, I watched half of two more movies, Epic and Guardians of the Galaxy. If you were wondering, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was the best, and Guardians of the Galaxy was definitely the worst (if you can’t tell I really, really, really, did not like it).
               Unfortunately, our next flight was not so peachy. Thankfully, I was able to sleep more than the previous plane ride, and I also got to finish two movies and a couple of TV shows (BCC). The unpleasant and very memorable part came as an extra bonus with my English breakfast. In short, I puked. I won’t go into any details because I don’t want anybody else to barf. J

               On Monday, January 19, my mom, my dad, and I arrived safe and sound in the Chiredzi Christian Children’s Village thanks to Kufa, our first Zimbabwean friend. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers!

To My Prayer Group!

This is a thanks to my prayer group for being such good friends. It is very encouraging to have so many people praying for me and supporting me. This week I would be grateful if you could prayer for safe flights, peace about unfinished plans, but also please thank the Lord for all he has done for my family. We have officially sold and moved out of our house, bought our plane tickets, and almost finished packing our bags. Its official, we are going!!!!!! Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up. Proverbs 12:25

Shingai Primary School

On February 27, 2015 I went to Shingai Primary School (in uniform) for sports day. Four different primary schools (including Shingai) gathered together at the best track, to compete in track, relay, and the high jump (slightly different than ours). It only included grades 5-7 so I missed one of the village kids in 4 th grade do the high jump. L Since then I have gone two full days (leave at 6am, home at 5pm) and two half days (Fridays go 6-2ish) I have enjoyed my classmates, but sometimes the day seems to run on since English is their second language and my second nature so… The first term (from January to end of March) ends on the last day of March. In my class there are 45 students (including me) and one teacher! Every morning we pull out our morning work notebooks and do our morning work out of the English book. Normally after I’m long done, the teacher will finally come in to class. The subjects change depending on the day except for English which is every day and used in ev...
