a few pictures

I wanted to give you all a few shots of my life in Jo'burg...there are plenty more, but to see them you'll just have to ask :o)





















Oyisa (age 6) and Thabo (age 7). They loved to listen to our iPods...and strangely enough, really enjoyed country music!





















Tshepo (my "best friend" with a baby tied on his back. Many of the women carry their babies/toddlers like this, and in play time the children would often follow suit. Tshepo was the only boy that did this.

























With Elami, the girl I wanted to sneak into my suitcase :o)
















Op de Bergen street, right outside the church compound




















life behind barbed wire (picture stolen from Russell)

















Troyeville Baptist youth group


















Russell and I with Cheryl, Don, and Richard...one of the most amazing families I know



















last day with the kids and the staff
