Wow! what a long and dark trip, but here I am in Sunny Namibia.
I had a great first day. The photo is of me at an English class. These men and women are studying theology at a place called Namibian Evangelical Theological Seminary (I prefer NETS). There are 17 languages spoken in Namibia so they study in the common language - English. Margie Gillham is helping them with their English so they can study the Bible more effectively. These students are from 4 different Namibian language groups as well as Lesotho and DR Congo.
In the afternoon I went with Noah to a birthday party at a game park. He did go off horse riding without me (I think I would like horse riding!), but here is a photo of one of the animals we saw, it's a Kudu.
Madelon went off to her youth group at night, it is run by some Texan missionaries. Some things here in Namibia are just like Maitland, and other things are very different. I wonder where they will take me next?...

Hello Gillhams!! Wow, that all seems so cool. I will be praying for NETS and everyone over your side of the world. Im glad we can hear about the wonderful things you are doing. Africa seems very exciting. Have fun. Claire.
Hello Claire,
Found your blog from a link with Simon and Margie Gillham. Took me a while to realise that you are not in the photo in Namibia but one of the shoelaces is!!!! OK So I'm a bit slow.
All made sense once I looked at your original explanation. How is your friend from Maitland Alive getting along? And where are the shoelaces now? I also thought that you must go to bed pretty late judging by the time of your 'posts' but obviously you get that from your mum who posts comments even later than you!!!
Have a great day.
It all sounds great!! What a fun idea. By the way, whos shoelaces ARE they? some great pictures!
