I've done it! My time here in Africa has officially come to an end. I still can't believe how fast these past 5 months have FLEW by!!
The past 3 mondays me and my team mates have been doing our own soup kitchen and delivering our meals to the parking guards and various homeless individuals in the town. This has been such an amazing experience as we've been able to have some interesting conversations with these people. God is definitely working in ways we can't necessarily see, but the outcome is so powerful. My goodbyes to the children and teachers i've been working with were very emotional. If you know me well you would know i'm not a huge cryer but i am happy to announce I shed some solid tears! The kids made me some adorable cards, letters, crafts and many gifts that i will cherish forever. I don't even know where to begin to talk about the lessons and God moments i've had. What i can say tho is that volunteering is hard work. I had a different vision in my head when coming to South Africa, but God used me and bent me in ways i didn't think possible, but now I can see a complete change in maturity in my faith as well as a person. Some days I truly felt like giving up, walking away and going back to my own home where i knew everything was safe and in my comfort zone, but God had other plans. Sometimes God doesn't change your situation because He's trying to change you, strengthen you, push you and mould you through that current circumstance. I'm in England right now waiting to board my final flight home. Coming to South Africa was one of the best decisions i've made. I'm not sure what the future holds for me but i do know who holds the future so trusting in Him to guide me in the right direction. As many of you already know I found a man in South Africa!! Him and I go way back, 7 and a half years to be exact. We met in Aussie and have stayed in contact ever since. I stayed with him and his family for the first 2 weeks of my time here and saw him most weekends. All I can say is that God is good!! When He brings the right man into your life everything falls right into place. These next few months are going to be crazy hard as were forced to be in a long distance relationship but we both know this time will strengthen our relationship with each other and also with God. I'm so blessed to have been able to stay with him and his family so many weekends and holidays! Thank you guys! Lots of love sent your way from Canada! XOXO See everyone soon!
