Duck duck goose

I never thought that duck duck goose would cause me excessive harm. As I was bounding around the circle, chasing a small child, I slipped on some smooth cement, and fell full force onto my knees. No both knees hurt more than ever, and I don't know which one I should limp on.

I really enjoy it here. They children are so much fun to spend time with. They love to play with my hair and want me to spend more and more time with them. I love it!

Kelly has a tan?

I know.. I didn't think that me getting a tan would ever be possible.. BUT IT IS! It really isn't that dark. But I am getting a good flip flop tan line.

The children here are so amazing. Most of them you can tell have AIDS because of all the wonds on their boddies. But all they want to do is hug on you and jump all over you. It gets really tiering. But after a while you get used to having 3 kids jumping on your back.

I love it here. It is so nice. I love every one so much!!! Miss you all!

Africa

OH MY GOODNESSS!!!!!!

I am here now. Way too stressful trying to get money and having the ATM swallow my card for the 2nd time.

This is the first time that I have had the chance to really get online. I feel so bad that I haven't been able to talk to anyone at home. We don't have a phone or internt on the base. So this weekend I am getting a phone so I can have some contact.

I miss everyone so much. Everything here has been fun and exciting. It is hot and I have been so sunburnt. Anyways. Hope to update more later.

Love everyone!!!
Kelly

Who ever built JFK airport into existence needs to rethink some things..They have like 8 different terminals. That means that if a fly into terminal 8 and your other flight flies out of terminal 4, you have to get through security AGAIN!

So I did all that, and then I realized that my plane is 2 hours late for South Africa. Then I get to South Africa, where I find that I have missed my connection. So I get my new ticket, and have to go through security AGAIN!!!! But here they don't make me take off my shoes! :)

I am so tired. I am sitting in South Africa airport waiting for my last plane. I think I got a total of 4 hours of sleep on the planes. And because I have been on different planes now, I can't get rid of the moving feeling that you get after going on a roller coaster 29 times.

I don't know what day today is. I think that it is Friday. But at the same time I think it's Sunday. I don't know any more... Too many time changes for me to keep up with.

Oh, and on top of all of that, I haven't taken a shower in a few days. Bleh....

God give me patience and strength.
