Month 1 in South Africa has been great. I can’t believe how quickly it flew by—I don’t even feel like I have been here for a whole month. I only have 3 whole days left until we leave our ministry site. I will be traveling by bus about 5 hours north (still in South Africa though) for 10 days of debrief will my whole entire squad. I cannot wait to see everyone else again and hear how their last month has been. Here are 26 words and phrases that accurately sum up month 1 for me.

  1. It’s not downloaded to the cloud

  3. What’s the WiFi password?
  4. We’re out of toilet paper. Again.
  5. Do we have team time tonight?
  6. Waka waka

  8. Quantum
  9. Feelin’ 22
  10. I’m gonna set my alarm for 6am *snoozes repeatedly and wakes up at 7:45*
