Top Five of this trip - so far!

Challenging as it all can be bringing together eleven different attitudes, and personalities, we've all become very close on this trip, learning new things about each other every single day.  We've had some great conversations and experiences that we've all agreed on the top five quotes from the trip that we'd like to share with you. Let's hear your responses and let us know if you think they were half as great as we did. :)

Thank you and God bless,

Christen Bloomfield



1. "If I were to wake up and we landed not knowing where we're going, I'd definitely say this is Africa...or...South Dakota..."
-Christen Bloomfield landing in Johannesburg, South Africa


2. S: "Most babies are born after the cold season."
M: "They have sex to keep warm?"
S: "Yes."
M: "Maybe we should of donated some more sweaters..."
-Sandra Levinson, director of House of Moses, and Matt Morin


3. "Well the news said he had a satisfactory night in Paris - what does that mean? He went to a couple of cafes, and went dancing?"
-Victoria Millar in reference to the Zambian president later contradicted reports of his death in French hospital.


4."C'mon Mosquito! Why don't you show yourself and fight like a man?!?"
-Matt Morin


5. "Well you took my key four times, so I thought I'd let you know, I'm the KEY person in this team..."
-Sandy Veit

Hi Nancy Davies here. I grew up attending Covenant and now reside in Raleigh, NC.( Dorothy and Owen's daughter) I am thoroughly enjoying your blog and as much as you do not want your time in Africa to end I do not want your stories to end! My son, Zack, is currently in Ethiopia for 7 weeks volunteering at a clinic for the destitute and dying and at an orphanage. He has also been very moved by the spirit of joy and giving of the Ethiopian people. I have just finished reading the book, White Man Walking by Ward Brehm which is a very good book about Africa. Looking forward to your next entry!

I need to know: did you set up a ring and have an announcer for Matt's bout with the mosquito? How many rounds did they go?
