finally have INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

October 28th, Wednesday

the not having internet thing is starting to get waayyyy old i'm telling ya!! lol i know that when i lived in Canada it was kinda
obvious that i was totally addicted to the internet but this forced rehab is not fun at all! hahaha.

today was pretty good. last night i went to bed insanely early because i was feeling totally misrable. i had been fighting a sniffle
all day and by like 8 i was for sure in for a terrible cold. so i hit the hay early early! but by three when i had been woken up with
a drippy nose, and very feverish feeling and just misrable all over i took some major action. that being, i took a bunch of cold and
sinus medication, topped it off with a fast acting gravol and sent out a prayer sms!!! i literally passed out till 10 the next morning
and when i woke up i felt right as rain, i'll be it a leetle bit groggy. And i've felt fine all day. so..... yeah if you were praying
for me... thanks cause it totally worked. i've never had a 24 hour cold before but now i have. HURRAY.

today was a good day. i pretty much spent the day puttering about until work in the afternoon. the babies home is quieter now, missing
its littlest resident. she has been adopted now and will be leaving in three weeks. i think that the new proud parents are going to bring
her by in two weeks for a little visit before she goes and then she is on her way to Holland to live her new life. its looking like
her new parents are solid Christians and they have another child already that they adopted from SA. so they know the ropes. its pretty
exciting, even if we miss her.

Prayer Request:

~continued good health

~i'm a little bit missing home now and i know that its normal but just prayer that it doesn't interfer with how i serve here.
no one wants someone around that obviously doesn't want to be around. and i don't want to give off that vibe. i want to be here
with all my heart, i just miss my peeps thats all. :)


ummmm okkkkk its Monday November 2.

honestly i had a great great weekend but i just didn't feel like updating for some reason. partly because i didn't have the interenet, which switched
on today!!!!!!hurray and partly because i was missing home and just didn't have the get up and go to write. that being said, let me re-cap my weekend for ya.
friday i worked and then went to the movies with nicole, mamello, amy and Lauren. we went in a tiny shower of rain that turned torrental
on the way. people were driving with their hazzards on, going less than 20 and pulling over on the side of the road. it was hectic! i was very scared and
tho we made it safely we almost rearended someone and we went off the road at one point and hit a curb. Lauren and i both hit our heads because of the side
of the car we were on. let me tell you that i was happy happy happy when we parked! haha. whew.

saturday was another work day. and then we had a concert on the property. Finding Noah, Reason, and John Ellis from Tree63 played. it was BRILLIANT!!!
i did an interview on the big screen before the concert which was hilarious. i just happened to be walking by and some guys from the church were like
'gwyn do this intereview!' i was like, but i'm eating a roti wrap! haha. all good fun tho i'm sure i looked like a total dork. The concert was lots
of fun. i was great to dance and yell and praise with a whole bunch of people.

sunday i went to church. i wasn't working but i went up to the babies home with the amy and lauren and grabbed three of the kids to take to church with us.
it just makes the load easier for the ones that are working when we do that. Church was good. we are still listening to the series on Jonah that PJ Smythe is
preaching. so its very good. i quite enjoy his style of preaching. later that night a while gang of us went to the movies. Me, amy, lauren, max, Lou, Stu and Taylor.
it was so much fun to get out. seriously when you don't have a car and you have to rely on other people you get very good at finding willing people
and then take every opportunity you can get! when we came back we had tea and music and then watched another movie. it was a great night. i didn't get to
bed till almost two. actually i called home with my limited airtime to wish my brother a happy birthday but he wasn't there yet. so i chatted with my
Dad very quickly. it costs me like an insane amount of money to call home so i can't really do it. thankfully! we have INTERNET again!!!! hurray!!!!!

miss you all terribly. thanks for those who email and leave me notes on here. it really takes a lot of time to write and know that people are reading but its
also nice to get the comments back. i miss you all so very very much. i feel like i've been away forever!
