Botswana!

Johannesburg airport at 3:30 am to catch our flight to Botswana!

 Some of the team! From left: Kasey, Jacob, Alex, and Katelynn. Funny story, our flight was cancelled so they had to fit us onto another plane. Praise be to the Lord, they got us all on it and it left the same time as our other one, plus we got all of our luggage!!

 Botswana!!

The Hands On Team! I love these guys and have been through a lot the past week. Pray for each of them as they serve all over South East Africa!

Whew!!! The week is FINALLY over! This week was orientation or training for the mission field held in Botswana. It has been such a hectic week, but totally worth it. Unfortunately, I don't have too much liberty to tell you everything but I will share some of the highlights:

• Our first day lasted 20 hours on 3 hours of sleep
• We were not allowed to have our luggage the first night
• No hot water for the week
• Got to take a 2 hour bus ride with Africans
• Made a ton of new friends
• Had SO much fun with the Hands On group!
• We got to live with a African family in a village for a weekend with no electricity, water for bath, or indoor toilet. TIA (This Is Africa)
• Killed, plucked, gutted, and cooked a real live chicken... My "African uncle" helped me. He said, "You are the best American!"

More pictures still to come!
