So, I am in Windhoek , Namibia this week. I have been here for about six days. I will be leaving for Grootfontein, my new home, on Sunday, Feb. 11th. I am getting super excited. This week we have been doing Namibian orientation which included a Namibian history lesson and a tour of Windhoek. There are pictures from the tour below. I also learned about the AIDS/HIV situation here and it is heartbreaking. I had the chance to here a woman 's story that was a reality of life here. I have been to several missionary families for dinner which has been really nice. Today I went for an HIV test. It was a great opportunity to really know what people go through in that situation and is helpful for encouraging people to get tested. I am negative by the way! I was also able to go and visit an after school program today. I read some books and taught the kids some songs. They taught me some hand claping games. Then I took it down and all order was lost. I have never had so many hands in my hair pulling and yanking it this way and that. It was actually quite painful but fun at the same time. It was a great afternoon with the kids. Hope you are enjoying the blog, feel free to leave comments!
I thought this was a great picture because this is a real town!
