I can't believe I've been in Knysna for over a week!
Anyone who was around me in the days before I left will know how worried I was about travelling and going through Joburg airport. I sat beside a man on the plane who was a South African living in England going back to see his dad. We got talking and it turns out his dad was born in Saintfield before moving to SA. After I told him how I was freaking out, he said he would stay with me the whole time until he got his plane as it was earlier than mine. This really just shows how God answers prayer and provides when we need it most!!
The projects are very exciting and I'm loving them! This week I was involved in after-school clubs, a soup kitchen and a creche. One thing which I didnt expect (even though I should have) is that all of the children speak afrikaans as their first language. I know two words so that's been something which has been hard but I'm determined to learn it!
We had the weekend off so went on a hike to Nature's Valley - in the middle was this beautiful beach which you could only get to by going on the hike. Some bits were hard such as climbing along the side of rocks with only the sea below but it was worth it!
Here's a quick video of my weekend, don't get too jealous of the views & the weather ;)
Well that's my first week in a bit of a big nutshell!
Much love from Knysna xxx
