Hey all,
I've wanted to give you the blog address for the team, but haven't been able to get onto the internet these past two weeks. There were problems with the login for the computer at the Muizenberg base last week and this week we're in Ashton, which is a small community. Suffice to say, internet access isn't common here. The computer I'm on blocks Facebook, so you might have to e-mail me if you want to communicate with me. You can talk with one of my family if you don't have my e-mail address. Anyways, the team blog is ywamcarlisle.wordpress.com. I'm sorry that this is so brief, but my internet time is limited. I am looking forward to seeing all of you and talking with all of you again when I get home.
Blessings,
Thomas

Hey friends,
I'm so sorry that I haven't written before now. That's not loving to all of you. Please forgive me. I guess rather than try to fill you in on everything else that's been going on this past month I'll just let you know what's happening now.
Most of the team has made all of the necesary preparations for South Africa, and we're leaving tomorrow! One of our teamates (Jo) had to fly out today, but the rest of us are leaving tomorrow and arriving in South Africa on Monday. It's going to be a completely different climate, physically and spiritually, but we're all looking forward to it and expecting God to do amazing things. The majority of the school up to this point has been a time when we've been poured into, with a couple of outreaches here and there, but now we're going to have a huge oppurtunity to really pour out, as well as learn from the Christians in South Africa. And of course, as long as we live God will continue to teach us more and more as we grow in Him.
None of us here can get our heads aronud the fact that we'll be in South Africa so soon. It's going to be amazing!
Apparently the first and the last week of the outreach are more laid back but the rest of it is going to be crazy. We do have a third of the day off everyday, as well as one day off a week because our staff realize the imporatnce of us not being burned out. Hopefully that will give me a chance to stay connected with all of you via Facebook or other means, although I don't know how fast the internet in the internet cafes will be. There will also be a team blog that one of the team members will update weekly. We don't have an address for it yet, but when we do I'll make a post on this blog and on Facebook to let you all know what it is.
The first place we'll be in South Africa is Cape Town/Muzemberg, then we'll go to Ashton, and then to Mossel Bay. We'll be staying for a couple of weeks in each place before moving on to the next location. During the last week we'll debrief in George, and then I'll fly home, unless God has something else in mind and delays or changes my ticket.
Anyways friends, thank you for your patience and for your support and I look forward to seeing all of you when I get home.
Blessings,
Thomas
