This week has been whirlwind.  On Wednesday I got to visit Ithimba (an orphanage 5 min. walking from were we live).  I spent over an hour just playing and loving on the little once there.  It feels like such a privilege to spend time with them. 

 

Today was my first day working in the health clinic, two other girls from my team (and me) washed the floors.  I met a lot of the nurses (or sisters), and chatted with a patient while she was waiting to be seen.  The health care here is ridicules, there is only one doctor and he is only here one day a week.  South Africa is a little different then I expected.  We're in a pretty modern part of Jeffery's Bay.  The crime rate is unreal, and the tax on everything is 14%.

 

Fun traveling facts: We traveled for 36 hours, but got here 43 hours after we left (the time differance from Chicago is 7 hours ahead).  So when I start my day at 7am it's midnight at home!  I left my camera's computer cable at home, so pictures are to come.  I miss yous guys less then I did at first, but I stil miss home a TON.
