I had to say good-bye to Mpho this week at the orphanage. I definitely teared up more than once. I just kept thinking what if no one ever adopts him, and he's stuck in this orphanage for the rest of his life. I held him for three hours straight and he fell asleep on me right before I left. I got to take lots of pictures and took a few videos of him. I just love that baby boy! It makes me so sad that Tuesday was the last time I'll ever get to see him again. I know God will take care of him though.

I also worked in Eskom again. The kids there are just fun and have so much energy. They can get a little out of hand though. This week I have successfully learned all of the children's names. Some of the names aren't so easy to pronounce either. We only get to work there for one more week. I feel like I've built strong connections with several of the kids there so I'm just so sad to leave. I know I'm going to cry again. These children really just need someone to love them and guide them.

I felt really good this week. I just loved every minute I got to spend with the kids and really took advantage of it. Sorry I haven't put any pictures up! I don't have a flashdrive to load from my laptop and I brought the wrong cord for my camera! Once I'm back in December though I'll load all of them to this page! I've also taken several videos I can't wait to share with all of you!

Prayer Request: I really want to be back for the one year anniversary of Ashton's death. I want to be with my family and with those who loved Ashton most. They have a flight for me that would arrive in America December 1, but the flight, as of right now, is completely booked. Someone has to cancel before I can get on. So just be praying that someone does!

Africa is still amazing! Today it was so cold and raining, and of course I forgot to bring a jacket because I thought Africa was so hot! Believe me it's not ha ha!

I'm learning something new everyday. Mostly from the amazing children. I think they're touching my life more than I am touching theirs.
