Internet Caf-AY

Hello one and all,

I am now a one week veteran, and with it comes such priveleges as being able to have my window slightly undone, recognition of the mobile telephone masts that are dressed as trees and thats about it really, i can't wait for week two.

I have met some lovely people here, not least of all the the other Brits, Simon Peel (whose humor appears somewhat akin to mine much to everyone elses annoyance) And Laura Skinner, I knew the others already! I have also met Christy Beyers who is From Durban, and about our age so she has been chilling round ours quite a bit and she is Well Cool and took us to some rocks in Shongweni Nature Reserve and we jumped in to a lake, it was pretty sweet man and not in the least bit scary... Kind of a perfect sort of activity for me because I like jumping, you might have noticed.

Anyway, less of the messing about, We have also visited a school for handicapped kids called Happy's where we are teaching a basic bible course, and just generally having a right laugh with them. There is one dood there who made up some long name with lots of Zulu "clicks" in it then he made me pronounce it! Japes abound.

Marianhill is a township west of Durban which is a really poor area (though not the worst) and we've been there helping out with turfing some land for kids to play on, and doing there bible class, it was quite difficult to get a response out of them, so we are going to try different approaches! I'm about to photocopy an illustrated timeline of moses life to try tomorow!

I shan't mention the time i lost my wallet and then found it again, or the time i almost broke the car. Happy Days.

I forgot the wire for the camera so i am sorrybut no glorious photos!

Love. Kiss. Hug. Matthew. X
