I figured I should give a brief overview about my trip, for those who are interested. My flight departs this afternoon from MN to Amsterdam (approx 10 hours) and then to Johannesburg, South Africa (another 10 hours or so). We'll spend the night in Joburg and tomorrow travel to Mozambique, Africa.
My Wooddale Africa missions team (11 members in total) will stay in Mozambique for 19 days. During this time we will be expanding upon the efforts of previous missionary groups by participating in community service projects and various other ministry opportunities (teaching in the schools, working with HIV/AIDS infected individuals, mentoring orphans, etc.).
After this time, our Wooddale team will travel back to Johannesburg for a weekend retreat. This retreat will include an African safari - 2 morning and 2 evening safaris. How cool!!!! The Wooddale team will be returning to the United States on June 25th.
Amanda Miller and I will then travel to Cape Town, South Africa where we will be staying for the remainder of our time in Africa. Amanda will be joining me in Cape Town for 5 weeks. I will be staying in Cape Town for approximately 5 months, returning on Dec. 1st. We will be doing similiar mission work in Cape Town as we will be doing on Mozambique. But for what I've heard, the two countries are very different so the experiences will be unique and new in both places.
Okay, I have to cut this short. Off to the airport I go....
I will miss you all sooo very much. Please please please keep in touch! xoxo
