Last Post from S. Africa

This is my last post from S. Africa. I can't believe the trip is over already. It went by sooo fast but I'm also feeling ready to go home.

The soccer tournament this weekend went soooo well. It's a huge weight off my shoulders and I couldn't be more happy with the job that all of us did. I was really worried that something was going to go wrong. We had 30 jerseys borrowed from Shiviti to keep track of as well as 200 plates. Luckily everything came back and both days of the tournament were great.

The speakers from Tinswalo Hospital did a great job with the health day, DJ Bravo was the entertainment for the first day and the huge coke truck the second day. Young Stars from Utah won the Men's Championship and a hluvukani team won the women's championship.

This week is just good bye parties and tying up loose ends. Last night we went to Robert's house for a party. Today we have to make bookshelves for the Shiviti Library.

We will be leaving the communities Friday morning for Joburg and then I land in Dulles at 3:40 on Sunday. I can't wait to talk to everyone!

P.S. Happy Birthday Emily and Micaela!
