Hey, Nene! It was so good to have you on speaker phone yesterday so we could all hear your voice and talk to you. Just like you were in the same room with us. Of course, you were, you never left us in spirit, as the hall light and the front porch light have not been cut off since you left. And, of all those candles we bought for everyone to burn, we have about burned them all, but won't let there be a day without your spirit burning in this house!
Sorry that Joberg and Pretoria are the big city life and not very safe. Your time is winding down, and we're counting the days as well until we meet you at the airport on July 17th. Make the best of the days to come, it will go by fast. Enjoy Cape Town next week.
We will ship more packages this week as the funds are slowly making this possible! God is good, we celebrate many blessings, but his week, we celebrate our many freedoms given to us by the price so many others have paid for us, especially, our Lord & Saviour. Loving you, Mom

Hi My Sweetie; It was good to hear your voice today, even though it was on the speaker phone and everyone else hoged the phone, I was still able to say a few things and hear your voice. I'm glad you are busy during the first part of the day, as that makes that portion go by fast. I read Aubry's site, and he is due back tomorrow. I'm sure he had a great time, and it is really a visit of a life time as is yours, however I do expect you to try to get back there some time. I haven't heard from Brian sinse mothers day, but I sure he is busy learning his new job. Work Hard, Play Hard, Sleep Long, Pray Hard and Listen Hard to what the Lord has in store for you, and the angles wings will carry you along. I love you and hope to talk to you real soon. Love Dad
Dad; And I'm Still Bigger
Hi My Little Bitty Sweetie; I'm back, and I'm still bigger, I don't think any bigger than I was before I left, but still bigger than you. We had a nice trip but I missed you in the casino. Took Keri, she had a good time. I know you are busy but remember what you told me way back before you left. I was told by you, that you wanted to go to Africa to help and work in the Aids area, and that you were being led there. The Lord sent you there to open your eyes and your heart and to do his wishes. This has also opened the eyes of your friends, and of course your family. This I believe in my heart you are doing and you actions will continue to work after you leave. May God bless you and Gavin till we see you again. I Love You My Sweetie. Love Dad

Hello, Eleana! We missed you on the cruise however what you are doing is far more important than swimming with the fish. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and the work that you are doing. I was very proud to see your paper published...very touching because you guys are God's angels. May your journey in life continue to be blessed and held within God's hands. People who are God's people are blessed but those who spread God's love know the true spirit of his works.
Love ya,
Mrs. Teresa and the girls

Great news! When we arrived back from our vacation last night, we had mail! ha! I mean real mail in envelopes with checks from people we do not even know who want to help send the other packages to the orphanage! God's people are so good. With each check, there was a short, sweet, note simply saying they believe in your mission and are proud of what you are doing. God's people are good to support each other when they can't physically do the mission themselves, they pray and support those who go on and do the mission for them. We are your prayer group, your supporters, and believe in you Eleana.
I know that the last six boxes arrived in Pretoria yesterday at the Wellness Africa office and will be on the way from there to Ziva Bantwana orphanage soon. These packages were shipped by the generous donations of Dr. & Mrs. Gollohan and David & Trudy Craig. God has richly blessed them already!
With the recent donations, Wellness Africa is trying to establish a FedEx account to make our shipping effortless! God is so good. We have made the right connections in South Africa through our prayers. Also, the fact that South Africa is 90% Christian, they pray with us to the same God!
I'm excited! Blessings to all...

Hellooooo! I hope you are having an awesome time across the ocean. I saw your new picture on facebook and it seems like you are having a great time with the children there. Tell them Jordan says "hey" haha! I wish I was doing something more fun than summer school and somewhere across the world. Take care and remember in all you do this summer, spread the love of Christ above all else. God bless. I miss seeing you. Take care.

Hey Eleana! I hope you are doing well! I just looked at your latest photo's and posting! It looks like you are still having fun and helping all the children. I just started my job on Monday June 26th. I feel very lost and I hope it gets better soon! I am ready to start implementing programs but I guess I better learn all the policies first! Well I miss you alot but I know you are having fun and I can't wait to come visit you when you get back! Hope all is well and take care!
P.S. I have a new email address now but my ECU one is still working so you can still send stuff to that one!
Have fun!

Hey, Nene! Sorry, but the internet access is soooo slow on board the Carnival Fantasy. It will kick me off, then charge me minutes, so will be brief. Everyone is fine, but I can't wait to get back home so I can really communicate with you. We copied the newpaper article from South Africa while on the ship to share with everyone. May get some help from who knows!
We're in Nassau now , just arrived. Gonna do some bartering and go check out Atlantis.
Keep the faith. We all pray daily for you and the mission to get help for the orphans. We'll send you some personal emails. Love you Mom

Hi Eleana,
Looks like you're staying pretty busy. You're a wonderful person to do all that you're doing for those families. Hope your journey continues to go well and that you stay healthy and can keep smiling. I look forward to your updates, so keep them coming. Your mom is out this week and I really miss her...even though I don't get to physically see her everyday, it's nice to know she's just right across the way if I need a buddy....well take care and remember you're continually in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless....Anna

Hey ELEANA! I apologize because I haven't posted a message in a long time! I hope you are staying healthy, having tons of fun, taking bunches of pictures, not getting home sick, and having an experience of a lifetime. I can already tell by you pictures and your posts that this experience will stay with you for a LONG time! I was in tears looking at that video you had up. I have my fingers crossed that the advertisement in the Sat. paper brings donations for the packages to be shipped as well. Ok I have to get back to HLTH 4605 (I'm working on the Internet Hunt Paper). BYE! Love, Neha

Hi My Sweeetie; The update was good to hear, I assumed that you did not have any access to the internet, but I still try everytime I get on to see if I can talk via AIM. All is going well, I haven't packed but will do so in due time. I miss you and look forward to hearing and seeing so shortly. I will let you know what is going on in the apt later. Love Dad
