Last week at St. Anne's was a good one. The ladies seem to feel comfortable talking to me and although there are some that speak mostly Afikaans, I do my best to talk slowly and explain things in detail. The ladies have been very welcoming and on my lunch breaks I go visit, play, and feed their children at the criche (daycare). One of the group sessions proved to be extremely emotional to a few of the ladies. After the session one lady approached me to talk. At that moment I knew that she was sharing a significant piece of her story with me and I felt blessed to just be there to give her encouragement and just listen. It causes me sorrow to know that human beings can be so cruel to each other. That was just a testament of the importance of being good, and that no matter what you have gone through in your life there is still hope. Always remember to give your best at all times. Like many of you wisely said, I am learning more than what I could have ever imagined. This week the ladies and I are participating in a workshop on how to start your own business. Tomorrow we are creating our business plans. I am looking forward to seeing what the ladies have come up. Another thing on my mind is FUNDING for my vision when I get back home. I am meeting with someone who is interested in joining on the project as well here in Cape Town, cross your fingers;). Cheers from The Cape:)

Charo I am so pleased to read that you are enjoying your work. Love you!
The THUNDERKAT I was so happy to read your blog. I got your text the other day but I could not reply to it. I got a weird message. So, I kept checking your blog pero nada. Then I stopped checking these past two days and poof! There it was! Me siento muy orgullosa de ser tu amiga y de saber que eres un instrumento de paz y consuelo para la gente de St. Annes. I miss you so much and I wish I could do the things you are doing. You never know maybe one day we will be together doing missionary work. I know this is exciting but I'm sure you miss home. When things get tough cantate esto (I'm sure you remember it from las monjitas): Hazme un instrumento de tu paz donde haya odio lleve yo tu amor donde haya injuria tu perdon señor donde haya duda fe en ti Maestro ayudame a nunca buscar querer ser consolado como consolar ser comprendido como comprender y ser amado como yo amar Hazme un instrumento de tu paz que lleve tu esperanza por doquier donde haya oscuridad lleve tu luz donde haya pena tu gozo señor. Hazme un instrumento de tu paz es perdonado que nos das perdon es dando a todos que tu te nos das muriendo es que volvemos a nacer Tear tear...I love you and I miss you!
