Dear Friends, Family and Supporters

What a fantastic couple of months I have just
had. Since my last blog, our team
finished up a great first semester in JBay.
We had our group debrief in George, a stop along the Garden
Route which is a beautiful scenic drive along the
coastline of the Eastern Cape. It was a great time of fellowship and
relaxation, reflecting on what God has done and making plans for this semester
for ourselves and ministry. We were able
to do a lot of fun activities; one of my favorites was a tour of an ostrich
farm. Sounds lame, I know but seriously check it out sometime.

Then from our debrief, our team split for the
month break, some going home and some staying in Jeffrey's for the
holidays. I was privileged enough to be
able to go back to the states. I spent
three lovely weeks, with my boyfriend, Chad,
see www.chadmustain.myadventures.org,
his family my family, as well as supporters and friends of both of ours. The time we spent together was more beautiful
and blessed than we could have every prayed or imagined. We had such a good time meeting the important
people in our lives as it gave us a deeper glimpse into each other. Thank you to all of you who made time to hang
out with Chad and I and for all of those who had us over for dinner, or allowed
us to stay at your house. It was truly a
blessing.  Here are a few pictures of Chad and I as well as the Mustain Family.

So here I am back in Jeffrey's, sitting in our living room,
typing this blog. I got in late last
night and was able to sleep through the night.
Although I woke up this morning a little bit in a frenzy, seeing how it
was 1 a.m. Texas
time. Thank you for your prayers. I am
looking forward to seeing what God has in store for me and for our team this
semester.

Blessings,

Heather
