Mom Trip

so! last time i left off i belive was with graduation and mom coming here. well today is the day she left, so its been 2 weeks, and i can try to put those weeks into a nutshell here: okay. and (ps the shift button dosn't work, so no capitals, its not my fault. i usually do have good grammar haha)

so after chinsta and the durban fiasco...

st lucia.....beautiful place. Stayed on the outskirts of town, in the jungle pretty much. youcan litlerally walk out of your door and into a hippo!! (we talk from experience!) soo.....did some shopping, went on a sweet cultural tour the sencond day.
now this was interesting.....my mom and i had our own personal tour guide, bringing us through traditional Zulu culture. so....we started at the orphange (at our request) it was a bonus gift from God, because my mom so badly wanted to go to one. we had alot of fun with the kids. then she took us to a 'sangoma' - a traditional 'healer'. we went to his hut house, wich had dead leapord skin on the wall, spears and things, and weird herbs, and he told us about healing things...it was acctaully kinda sketchy. but interesting.
then we went to a sweet zulu village and she taught us things, and then the fun part. my mom and i got dressed in traditional Zulu clothes, and then after that got a performance from some awesome zulu dancers and singers. then the funny part. we got to dance with them. and it was embarrasing haha. iM sure they all laugh at us after, but it was fun. i'll put up pictures later. my mom hurt her leg for a while after that hardcore zulu dancing lol.

we also went on a night tour and saw crocs and hippos and bush babys and chameleons. it was exciting seeing a hippo walk. right infront of us too. and into our backpacker area. its quite normal for them to walk in the town.

then our next nice stop was Sabi. a small town. very fun though! we went caving the first night, by cadellight, it was very very cool. again, pictures coming.
we also did a day in kruger park, and saw all the animals ever, except for leapord and hyena and rhino. there were lions sitting right in the road, and baboons just like, pretty much jumping on your car, it was very very amaizng. excecpt for mycamera battery died on my first pic, so i was very angry. but got over it, and enjoyed the day thourouly.

then......yeah......bus to j-berg, mom flies out after what feels like 5 or 6 days, and here i am all alone now, besides my fellow backapckers. i am staying in a ..... nice.......no its acctaully creepy....part of johanesburg. for 3 days, till i catch a bus to tzaneen to visit my friend myra.

overall, its been a great time, being a tourist for real this time haha. wow....it was fun though, learned alot and got to see the other side of the country. very cool. and warmer. :) beautiful.

yaw....so....happy times, can't wait to see you all face to face!

God bless eh....

Romans 8;28-onwards i belive:
we know that in all things God works forthe good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. those God forknew, he also predestined to be conformed into the likness of his son, Jesus Christ.
those God predestined, he also called, those he called, he also JUSTIFIED, and those he justified, he also glorified. what can we say in response to this? if God is for us, who can be against us???
