I have margarine on my thumb because Richard poured boiling water on me and that’s the African remedy. No, it wasn’t on purpose… I don’t think. Mike
Hey Ma, Pa and crew, I miss you all sooooo much! It is incredible out here and I may not want to leave :-) I can’t wait for return trips when you can come see this amazing country with me! Thanks for all your support and I will see ya soon!
To all my friends, I miss you all so much! You will be all shocked to know I tried oryx tonight. Didn’t like it, but hey I tried it! Mandy, I wish you could have made it out here with me, but next time, eh?

Today some of the team traveled to Rehoboth to pick up Maderyna & Memory (including Kat... plus, she is at the cemetary, repacking clothes, by the fire & playing with kids... some of the pics she is looking away though, but she's here!!). She is the most beautiful baby!! Chubby with little black curls. She can fall asleep anywhere and is always making some sort of noise… although I haven’t heard her cry. Richard & Thelma came back to the plot for a braai. SHE REALLY EXISTS!! I have been joking with the family that she is always around right before or after I leave. It was so nice to meet her and I hope that I have more time to talk with her. It was great to see Richard again and hear how that past year has been on the game farm. Tomorrow we head to Arandis. Although my heart breaks to leave here, I am looking forward to spending more time there and really see the place that many I know have come to love. God is leading me more and more to come back here soon. I am just praying for more clarity in that and moving forward with my steps. Please pray for Joan’s mom... Meegs, I haven’t seen any pencils yet, but then again, I haven’t been to any store that may have them… my eyes are peeled :-P love you Laura!! Glad to see you've figured out this internet thing!! :-) Jodi, you are right here with me!!
Love ~G

Hi Melissa,
It was so good to get a message from you. I am so glad things are going well for you. Africa looks amazing in pictures and on tv, I can't imagine what it is in real life. God Bless you. Love, Mom
Hey All, it's Sandi D. Sounds like you are having an amazing time. I am thinking of you all sitting around the campfire. Those cold, early mornings still hold amazing memories! Hope you are having fun with all the kids. Dance from your hearts, share your love of life with everyone!! Miss you all!

Hi Jackie and Dennise!!!
Mike, I will meet you at Joe's Beer House tomorrow night for some Oryx!!!!!! G, hope you are keeping all those kids in line!! Have a good trip to Arundis.......Hey Darin!
Hallo Maderyna
Ek hoor goeie nuus dat jy en jou dogter Memory tyd gaan spandeer met pastoor Darin se groep en met Amanda. Ek glo sy was baie bly om jou te sien. Jy moet weet dat ek wens ek was daar om jou te sien en tyd saam met jou te spandeer en vir Memory vas te hou, maar God het ander planne met my op die oomblik. Ek weet ek sal jou weer sien. Ek is baie angstig om van die foto'swat Tannie Germaine gaan neem te sien want daar sal ook n foto van jou en Memory wees. Wat ek rerig graag wil sien is a foto van jou en jou suster Chandre. Ek wens regtig ek was daar om julle altwee n lekker drukkie te gee op dieselfde tyd. Dit is oor julle twee meisies wat die Here my Namibie toe gebring het. Hy het julle altwee in my hart geplaas vir ewig so ook Elaine en die ander kinders. Ek weet HY is nog nie klaar met Sy plan vir ons nie so wees voorbereid.
Ek verstaan dat dinge moeilik is vir jou by die huis en met jou ma en waar jy bly. Weet dat ek aanhou om vir jou te bid. Daar is so baie wat ek wens ek kon met jou bespreek, maar miskien eendag. Vir eers moet jy sterk wees in jou geloof met God en glo ook in jouself: Wanner jy die Here se pad volg sal Hy jou beskerm en vir jy en Memory voorsien. Onthou daar is mense oorsee wat omgee wat met jou gebeur en wat baie lief is vir julle.
Ek verstaan dat dinge soms baie hard kan wees maar kyk op na die hemel en weet al is ek nie by jou nie is jy in my gebede en ek gaan aanhou glo dat dinge reg sal kom vir jou. Jy moet net aanhou probeer. Jou dogter het jou nou nodig as n sterk ma en as jy toelaat sal God jou help jy kan en sal wees. Ek glo jy kan.
Maak seker dat jy met Amanda praat en luister na wat sy vir jou se. Sy is n baie wyse en spesiale jong dame wat ook baie lief is vir jou. Vra haar om bybelstories vir jou te lees wat jou mag help en onthou dan die stories as jy huis toe terug gaan. As jy terug is by die huis moet jy nie vergeet dat jy kan deur Tannie Ricky by die beadshop n e-mail kan stuur vir my. Ek hoop om van jou te hoor., en vertel my dan hoe dit met jou en Memory gaan.
Dis al vir nou, onthou ek mis jou en is lief vir jou.
