As you’ll notice this “Week In The Life” has a different look that my previous ones. The website I had been using to edit/collage the photo’s was officially closed by google on January 19. Slightly discouraged and with no motivation to continue something that would no longer work I did not capture images for “A Week In the Life: Mozambique.” However, at the very end of the month an idea sprang into my head that would allow me to use the book making feature in iPhoto to create collages. So here we go, ” A Week In The Life: South Africa,” new and revamped, although not quite as good, but I’m working with what I’ve got!
1. Morning devotions and breakfast outside at the fire pit.
2.Group worship time.
3. “The Help” was to good to put down
4. So many brochures! Trying to figure out what we would do on our off days.
