| It's been a long time since I've updated! So much has happened in my life thus far, but I'm just glad that i've made it to where I am today. I am not working for the army this year, but am currently studying social work at UWC. This is my first year and the next three years seem so long, but I am having a good time.
I'm also volunteering at a drug rehabilitation centre run by The Salvation Army. It has been so amazing to work with these youngsters. Nothing is more beautiful than to see God change these young people's lives. Some of them come from really broken backgrounds and some are involved in gangsterism. But while at the centre they have the oppertunity to allow God to put all the broken pieces in their lives back together again. The sad thing is that some of them do not complete the programme, which is two months long. They go back home and then fall back into drugs and their old lifestyles again. But we keep on praying that God will continue to do the good work that He started in their lives.

| Wow, this has been one awesome year. One thing I struggled with though is keeping up with xanga. When I read everyone's comments it was so nice to know that people still remeber me on that side of the globe. I miss them all too. Even though I don't get the chance to update I still think of you all. This year has been so challenging for me. But with challenges come the oppertunity to be strengthened. And I definately have been strengthened and developed this year. And I thank God!! Next year is a new level for me. New oppertunities, new challenges, new lessons to be learned, and I can't wait for it. I will be studying Social Work at UWC, a university in Cape Town next year and I'm looking forward to it. So I don't know when I'll get the chance to come to the states again. Maybe sometime in the distant future. So please remember me in your prayers for next year. I know it's gonna be one awesome one! I HOPE YOU HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND A PLEASANT NEW YEAR!  | | |
| Hi you all!
Things are going well with me at the moment. The 25 July was my 21st birthday and it feels great being 21. Just alot more responsibilities now. I am in Johannesburg for a week holiday at my parents house. I am so tired, and staying at the corps down in Cape Town, I know I won't be able to get rest. So I make most of the rest I can get. It is also good to see friends here that I haven't seen in a long time.
Every now and then I think of you all, we should make a plan to get together again. Maybe you can come visit me here in South Africa! Otherwise things are going well with me. Will try to update more regularly. Have a nice day.

| Today was the second day of our Psycho Social Support training. It has been good. I'm learning so much about younger children and how we can support them with the problems they face everyday. Part of the training has made me thought about my childhood as well and the things I faced when I was a child. I've been meeting new people from overseas at the course as well, one American, one Malaysian, one Dutch, and one from England. So my week this far has been good.
I have been thinking alot about decisions I have to make concerning my future these days. And in a way, its stressing me out, as if i'm so confused I don't know what to do. I also get the feeling that God doesn't want me to be where i'm at and doing what i'm doing at the moment. Everyone is telling me do this, and the others tell me, do that. No wonder i'm so confused. But I pray that God will speak to me, and when He does that I will hear and accept the answer that He gives me.
Otherwise things are good. We had a community conversations last Saturday and it was good. Our young people were very challenged going out into the community and speaking with the people. It was a new experience for them. In our community we have problems such as drugs(which is the biggest), alcohol, gangsterism, and teenage pregnancy. When we went out we were immediately faced with the drug problem. Some guys even smoked "dagga"/marujana infront of us and wasn't even bothered. Some people chased us away, but mostly people responded well to the conversations. So we as a church is able to connect with our community and hopefully break through into the young people's lives in our community.

| I'm back!!!
How have you all been doing? So much stuff has been happening in my life and I never really get a chance to updat. If I have to tell you everything I will sit the whole day but for now, I will brek it down..
God has been so good! This year is probably one of the most challenging years that I have experienced, in doing ministry. I have been assisting a corps that has no officer and I enjoy every bit of minitering there, but it is also tough. Good things has been happening at the corps and I can feel that God is just going to take us by storm one day. I am so excited. We have started youth cell meetings and it is growing by the week. We have started a feeding scheme for the street people and ministering to them every weekend. Already some of the people that we have been feeding has given the live's to Christ right there on the street! And coming to church too. It is so exciting to see God move while ministering to the people. And I always go home touched and blessed. Our church is growing, sometimes we end up singing and dancing the whole service through. God is just blessing us so much!
But then I also need your prayers, because satan is attacking me from every corner. He has been trying to use girls in the church to distract me. And I don't give them any attention which makes them angry and say and do things that can ruin my reputation and also the ministry. Please keep me in your prayers.
I have to go now but will be back soon!
May God bless you all, and keep you. I always keep you all in my prayers.
