Wednesday, August 24 (Johannesburg, Gauteng)

     This morning we left at half past nine.  We just got back, at half past six.  I went that whole time without shoes because I forgot to put them on this morning :).  We stopped at the school to drop off financial paperwork, and then spent two hours at a ladies Bible study.  I sat in while they were talking, and all my siblings went to play in the backyard.  After that, we visited the Yellow house to talk to the realtor, and ate lunch in the driveway.  Finally, we went to meet another family that attends King's College, with a girl Teresa's age and a girl Ivan's age.  There were also two friends over, another girl Teresa's age, and a boy Ivan's age.  Even though I was the oldest, I had a lot of fun, walking tightrope on their fence, learning cricket, and comparing different vocabulary between South Africa and America.

     We got word back today that the owners of the Farm house are willing to update the house, and pay for it, the rent would just be raised to R15 500 from the R13 000 that it was.  This means that we can choose either the Yellow house or the Farm house, the deciding factor will be the cost to World Vision and the quickness that we would be able to move into the house (aka the quickness that the security measures would be installed).  I'm still praying for the farm house, but God will place us where he wants us!!
