Pic 1- You know the mall that I've talked so much about? Well this is it, and I'm usually following Zana around the mall- mom and dad can tell you that I'm kind of a slow walker, so here's your proof.
Pic 2- Zana and Tazz- So I'm not sure how much I've talked about our car, but it's always an adventure every time we hop in! It's kind of a jerky drive, but Tazz is really old and has lots of aches and pains. We think Tazz has a lot of abandonment issues because of all the volunteers that have used and abused her.
Well, I had this really long blog that I typed on another computer and now I can't open it up on this computer...dang Mac (just kidding Matt- don't cry :)
Today has been a good day. This morning I prayed with several of the patients here in the Health Care Center- I've decided that I'm going to pray with a few of them everyday. That's the best thing that anyone can do, right? I chatted with some of the men about American football and told them that my dear Tennessee Titans will be starting their season soon...I'm hoping for a good year for them- don't let me down Vince!
This afternoon Z and I went to deposit our rent- we go to this bank that has these strange doors. You walk through one door into this tiny glass room, then once the door behind closes, you can walk through the door in front of you to the teller. Tight security here in Long Beach Mall :)
Then back to LHCC to congratulate some of our new friends who got engaged last night. Sherna is a precious South African friend who is the Marketing Coordinator at LHCC- she took Z and I out for our first movie in SA ("Stomp the Yard"). Her fiance is Tony- from California- he moved here last year to help people in poverty to start their own businesses. He was also my "taxi driver" this afternoon as he took me to Masiphumele to watch a Life Skills Ed class. I think I'll be calling him a lot for rides during the work day :) Anyway, their getting married and now I'll get to go to a South African wedding!! I'm so excited!
Tonight is the night that my sweet friend Natalie arrives in SA!! I'm going to the airport to pick her up and I can hardly wait!! She is a dear friend and now they'll be three of us living in our cutie flat.
Love you all, but gotta go, time runs out quick in this internet cafe'!

Hey Laural, Just wanted to say I agree...things like titles and quirky creative ways to say things stress me out to. I enjoy reading your blogs, you and Z are blessing so many people with your blogs so keep it up.
Praying for you and Z everyday.

P.S. Did Z tell you I met Linda T. from Brentwood Baptist?
Good words.
