Greetings from Africa by Meghan Kelly

yesterday was our first day of ministry. the VBS team, mattye, lindsay, tyler, jenni and myself, had the opportunity to host the sunday school for the local church. there were about 30-40 kids from 3 to 11 years old. everything went really smoothly. we played simon says, sang some songs, did a puppet show, a craft, and played aroostsha witch the kids loved. it amazing to see how excited the kids are to see us and how ready they are to learn . we were all very excited at how everything turned out. we had a wonderful interpreter who helped with the kids and was a joy to work with.
after church we went to the mall to have lunch and went to see The Hulk. its interesting to me how much the American culture effects South Africa. i would have never guessed walking out of the movie theater i was here.
South Africa is such a beautiful place. I'm so glad we all got this opportunity to come here and serve the people. i miss everyone back home but i know what I'm doing here is life changing.
see you all soon.
God Bless,
Meghan

Hey Shorty,
It is great to hear from you. I am so glad you are having some fun time in South Africa, even though all of you are working so hard. It sounds like you had a fantastic time with VBS.

It really is great that even though we are so far away we can be "close" and hear a little of what you are doing and how God is moving via internet. A real blessing!

We're continuing to pray for you, that God will equip you and shine through you so that people will see Jesus and want to know Him.

God's blessings and unfailing love to you all! :)
