Hi everyone,

I now have internet access at the centre and not just at the office so will be able to post stuff on weekends, which is good.

On Thursday night during dinner, there was the biggest storm that I have ever seen. So much thunder and lightning! I thought it was a bit scary. It was a crazy night. All the American students were going wild and trying to video and take photos of the lightning. Every time there was a loud thunder clap they would all scream very loudly. To add to that, it was one of the girl's birthday and they invited me to her party. All the girls were acting silly, I think it was due to the amount of sugar in the frosting on the cake.
One of the girls decided it would be funny if everyone hid under the table while the birthday girl was out of the room. It failed, because only a few people did it and she didn't notice when she came back in. But she walked over to get a drink and one of the girls under the table grabbed her foot and she got the biggest fright and screamed! It was very funny.
The students have been on Safari this week (one group left on Wednesday and the second group left yesterday). They went to Umfolozi Game Reserve (used to be called Hluhluwe Game Reserve) which is the same reserve I went to on Safari last year.

Yesterday was a very hot day, 37 degrees - I heard that it was similar weather in Melbourne. Last night I went to the Foxfires Commissioning Service. I walked down to the service with Marne (my neighbour) and he went a bit crazy with my camera and took heaps of photos on the way down - some of them turned out quite artistic (I have attached some of them).
It was a fun night. The Foxfires performed two dances and one of them read out a very inspirational poem. Michael Cassidy was there and he spoke about wearing spectacles of faith, and being able to view God clearly. It was a great illustration. I took some photos and I stayed behind after the service till late and talked to the Foxfires.
