Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year from South Africa!!! Brett and I arrived safely in ZA at 7:00 am, December 31, 2012. John Shaw picked us up from the airport and, after skillfully placing 6 totes, 4 carry-on’s, and two very tired but excited people into the vehicle, we headed to base.  We have not gone hungry since we got here! Dinner was with the Shaw’s, breakfast was with the Kaufman’s, lunch was with the Olivera’s, and dinner tonight is with the Shaw’s. Whew!! They are treating us well!!

Today, is a holiday in ZA and that means everything is closed. Tomorrow, January 2, 2013, we will head into town and pick up some things that we need. At this time we will get our phones active and our internet up. At this point we will then be able to update you on a more regular basis.

Love to everyone back home and great big, giant hugs!!
