I miss fireplaces and insulation

It's not that it's necessarily always freezing, it's just that no houses are heated. In fact, i think my house is colder inside than out. WHich makes you not get excited to do too much, but basically bath in hot water, or lay in piles of blankets, or worse yet, eat. Don't ya'll worry about me getting weight, that's no problem here. Ish! Anyways, I'm saying all this because i feel lazy here on base at 9pm, not quite sure what to do because I should develop my relationships iwth people, but then that takes airtime, travel, effort. I should more so, go in the back cement area and do my soccer touches and lil work out. Little frustrating and yet exciting to see things coming along for Jubilee. I feel lazy in that I kept myself busy with this and that for the past 3-5 hours, hoping/thinking this guy Ravi will drop off more reeds he cut down for us from the Navy base. HOwever, that never happened. But the reeds we did have, YES amen, the boys started building the hutts and they look so good! Seriously! I even found pots next to the base in between houses and so that doesn't cost money. I bought more paint for faces today and cloth to paint the fire on with Robert who 'luckily' drove me around because it's official, the trains aren't running! Yes they're on strike. Oh how the WOrld CUp has everyone desiring and demanding more money because they can. Ish! However, calling, emailing, faxing pastors and people for the Jubilee. It's even official that Loren and Darling Cunningham are in the country :)
The team I got Martin to give them a personal tour today of Cape Town Stadium. I guess it went fantastic! They are all in awe and took many pics. He's too good isn't he? They even went to Mario's school yesterday and that I guess also went well. THey were there all day and even worked with his 'academy' after school. Glad it's going. TOmorrow morning we all have cordinating and delagating for the jubilee in parro.
I've checked the schedules for AIS's tours while they're here. THey have a few camps and like 4 possible games (I'll believe it when I see it) so I'm hoping to join them. Ironically they're helping out this way with Living Hope and all that andt he camps I'm already organizing with them and this Kick Off team here. SO that's fantastic!
I was offered from teh fabulous DTS dept. here R500 towards printing brochures. That's awesome but we'd really love more. I mean I don't have a necessary # dad, but I mean if we could get them in hotels/hostels, and even Justice Acts has a house on Long Street for people to pray in, get things to hand out. Loads of teams coming through. Like we said before, 300 YWAMers looking for ways to serve. Which reminds me I think I'll have to get the team to help me cut more reeds for the huts tomorrow after the meeting.
I'm still waiting to hear more back from Tonya and this possibly chance to be involved with Justice Acts, but haven't heard back yet. Dang she's a busy woman. Crazy how after doing so much, and being kinda free lance the past few months, I at times just want a normal job, knowing when things start and end, and then I hear friends speak about that monotony and I know I'd get sick of that again. But what's with emotion right? Yes here I go again. See this is what happens when I get time alone. Time to my own thoughts that ruminate and drive myself nuts. I only feel I accomplish more when I bounce things off of others. I need to get out more eh?
TOmorrow night Daneeka is playing at the Melting POt just next door, so I better get out for that!
Ah what else? Jeff spoke about all these trips coming up and traveling like to DESTIN Florida, and all over especially following CU. I feel like a washed up alumni, but I guess Jeff's still there I will be a part of it as much as I can. I really am looking for work, and dad, thank you for thinking of me and RHS high school coach, believe me it's crossed my mind before. HOwever, it more so depends on stability, most paid, and opportunity. Keith has been contacting me and holy cow he's doing some amazing things! Yes you impress me man! And Lisa, good luck! You guys have such hearts, that grab others to want to be a part so know that you're really doing magic! I wouldn't mind being up and near Seattle. I have recently been looking at Portland Timbers website and even Portalnd Rain, or any chance to be around footy when I return and possibly play. I'm so rusty, though, and it's like I never get better. My friend looked into indoor, but yes, go figure, it's random days and you pay on the day, and then even finding transport, people who can and will pay and let alone show up! Yikes all for that it's rediculous!
I complain a lot. I'm sorry. I think I'm learning what cultures suit me best, how I can best operate...perhaps.
Soon, I must get some winter gear, at least a coat, boots. I invested in gum boots, the others day at Garden Center and literally wear them everywhere!
Ah mom sorry I missed you int eh garden. I'm sorry. I do love you and am looking forward to walking your lil rat dogs up the drive way and baking possibly the healthiest muffins we can ;)
You're all in my prayers. I realize I haven't been praying enough out for others until recently since my mind's had time to think outside my own campaign. Kale, welcome back! I am so dang proud and jealous of you! I know I know we need to do it together next time you wanna go on a trip. Got a room in the house soon for me? :)
Love you all, still a few more months, peopel are getting amped here. Just had movie on base about Brazil players and their relationship with God. Looking forward to it really. Ok, perhaps I'll get a lil kick around and feel useful!
Muah!
