South African Journey

     Just wanted to put some information up before we depart on the 2 day trip to South Africa! Can't believe that orientation is already over and me and 9 others are the only YAGM's left in Chicago. Orientation has been a great time to bond as country groups and with those going to other countries. The only problem with everyone becoming really close this week is that we have more people to say 'Bye' to. But this also means that we have more friends who we will be albe to talk to and will understand some of the things we are going through throughout the year!

     Here is the flight times for the trip to South Africa. I have gone ahead and adjusted the times to Eastern Standard Time.

Depart Chicago's Ohare airport @ 11pm on Wed. Aug 26th

Arrive in Frankfurt, Germany @ 7:30am

Depart Frankfurt @ 3:35pm on Thur. Aug. 27th

Arrive in Johannesburg, South Africa @ 1:45am Fri. Aug. 28th.

South Africa is 7 hours ahead of East Coast Time...so it'll actually be 8:45am when we finally arrive in 2 days...2 days???

Anyways, I want to say a quick thanks for the many prayers of support and encouragment. You all are truely a blessing to me!

I'll be in touch when I can once arriving in S.A.
