Arrived!

Hello!  I am aware that this post will not go up on this blog until a later date due to lack of internet connection, but I want you to know that I have finally arrived!  I began my journey in O’Hare International airport in Chicago, then took an 8 hour flight to Amsterdam.  After a 3 hour layover, I took an 11 hour flight to Johannesburg (called J-burg for short J).  I sat next to a man on this flight who has to have been placed there by God’s guiding hand.  Let’s just say I was a nervous wreck, and we were able to converse and he put me at ease about many things.  I was welcomed at the airport by a 3 people holding a piece of paper with my name on it.  Yes, it was very similar to the movies, it if weren’t so awkward I would have snapped a picture! We then drove to Pretoria where we spent the night at a family’s house (the drive to the school was too far to complete at night).  The next morning, we went to the bus station, where my new friend Lusani and I took a 5 hour bus ride out to Limpopo.  We were greeted by my teacher at a bus stop/gas station, then drove the rest of the way to the home where I am staying, which is perfectly placed near the top of a mountain J.  Within those 2 days of traveling, literally a hundred different things happened, I have been trying to process as best I can.  These will turn into stories I will bore you with later when I come back.  That’s all for now, I better try to adjust myself to this time zone.  Thanks again for your prayers and support, they are so appreciated right now!
