Strange state

Hi. I wanted to write something. For those who do eagerly wait to hear how and what their daughter has been up to :) MOmmmy and Daddy, this is really for you. Weekend was great, and I'm in such a strange world of no anxiety these past few days. Not sure what it is yet. Perhaps it's finding out there's so so much about human trafficking and campaign for/during the world cup. Human Trafficking IS being known and everyone is talking about it, so I think I don't feel like the weight is on my shoulders, like I was the only person worried about the time here for WC2010.
However, I worry this complacency might make abstin2010 too calm. I don't know it's weird. We almost have the brochure designed, website being finalized, I know I keep saying this but for real it is. Had a few photos of Musa yesterday and so he's our brochure cover.
No word on GWC folks who were supposed to help, and I'm sure they desire to, but haven't been around. The document to be presented for funding etc., is in my hands and looks good except to change a few things. So thanks big to Jordan for doing that. However it's looks almost too professional.
I've just been looking outside the spectrum of abstain2010 and the ministries and things coming up for the world cup and just looking to reach out, WHICH was my initial idea. Get the material made, ( and yes if it's just a brochure with a pin and a website to know more, then that's enough to move) and we link in with our strengths, say Justice Acts, or other ministries like football, we take our brochure, 'message' with them. Right? Is that where this is at? Is that why this feels almost too easy? LIke we have desired for so much of this and that, however even if we have no video, 2010HumanTraffic has great videos already created, and there's great things already designed against trafficking etc., that will go even beyond the world cup. It's fantastic! BUT, does that mean we don't push for more? I mean still no real 'show' for what we have, it's almost done to 'have' something. But, do we take the cheap bit, and take that to people? Will we be in schools? We we be at events? Do we have capability? Can we have others do this with our already network?
Received an email from Ambassadors in Sport recently, and because of costs, they aren't doing this tour around Africa for/during the world cup, no no they're basing the outreach right here in Cape Town! Ironic eh? Yeah so, I've emailed back a few questions about how to possibly help. The whole outreach is to kids/women with soccer and ministering also teaching HIV/Prevention. HEY, sounds like something I've been created to share with, right? Maybe God's been holding me out here in SA to get this opportunity? My goal is to start kicking the ball around. maybe this is my chance to begin. I'm scared. I won't lie.
Still working to get the pins/tshirts/web finalized, and brochure, and we've got a real thing! Meeting with CCFM this week for concepts for the radio advert. kenney and collins are excited to be in volved in that. Great! Oh and Kenny's helping me with the powerpoint. It's here. I'm not NOT sleeping. What's the deal?
I had a lovely lovely weekend as well! Still phone wasn't returned to restaurant, so it was stolen from Kom, sad I know I feel even worse it was from this lovely couple Ruan and Anel. Oh man!
Well, pictures of an Afrikans 21st bday party at a wine cellar in Stellenbosch are on facebook. Martin invited me to be his date to this event with his family. Said it would be real interested! Yes I had a blast! I loved it! So interesting and they were kind to me to speak as much english as they could with me. Ha! They danced their funny 80s pop Afrikans music, and had lamb on the spit to eat. OH it was so great to get out adn enjoy myself! Lovely lovely family! Martin's parents are just a joy! His mom's recently had something take control of her nerves in her body, so she's in a wheel chair, (going to the states to a neuro this month) but man oh man she was happy and having fun and his dad was just loving her. Oh they were so kind to me!
Check out photos mom/dad. Gonna get going for a bit, catch up soon!
Love you
