this is school?

On Saturday we went zip-lining in Karkloof! it was a lot of fun and such pretty views while flying through the air!! we left really early in the morning, but it was worth waking up for! then once there we split into smaller groups to go through the canopy tour!

This is the 90 degree free fall line, where i screamed like a little girl! i thought i had to hold myself and let myself down on this one, so i was all nervous and preparing myself, and even told the guide that i was scared. he laughed at me and told me to just go! so i got off the edge, and slowly let go, but did not go anywhere, so i was just hanging there not holding on, i looked at the guide confused on why i wasnt going down, he told me look up, and right as i did HE DROPPED ME down so fast and stopped me right above the next platform! it was scary to say the least, but hilarious and altogether a really fun day zip-lining!

On Sunday the church i have been going to, God's Family Life Center, had a church picnic after church where the little kids went swimming, we played soccer, sat on blankets with the congregation and got to know them better. it was great to be able to get to know them better and talk with them. The people at the church are so welcoming and genuine in their joy, it is refreshing and a privilege to be able to be involved in their church while being here.

Laying down in the grass by the water, looking at the beautiful view, watching the little kids swim in the water with a few of us, and just relaxing in the sun was the perfect way to spend a sunday afternoon before the week of finals :)

This week we had class on Mon/Tues, and then finals started yesterday. i can not wait to take my final one today and then be done with most of my classes! I go to RivLive in exactly one week from today and i am SO excited and looking forward to the experiences i will get to have while there :) hope all of your weeks are going well!!
