Update!!

I have been a horrible blogger lately, and I apologize! We are still pretty busy, but busy in a good way! 

Classes have been going well, I got an A on my first isiZulu test!! I am continually getting better at speaking the language, but I am still working on all of the clicking.  I try to use Zulu as much as possible, but I am usually too scared to sound like an idiot.  However, every time I work up the courage and use it, the Zulu people are so happy to know that I am trying to learn their language.  They are so appreciative and try to help me as much as they can...

This past weekend, we all traveled to Durban for a fun-filled Saturday at uShaka Waterpark! It was a waterpark/ Sea World/ beach front all in one! I brave up and went down the death plunge and luckily came out alive.  Then we headed to the Dolphin show, and if you know me you would know that it was the best part of the day.  The crowd loved our group of 50 Americans and I was called up to go down to the tank and participate in the show.  The dolphins sprayed me with water that had almost as much salt as the ocean.  After the dolphin show we went to the beach and I was able to swim in the Indian ocean for the first time. It was beautiful and the water was not refreshing at all, but warm and tropical.  We had so much fun, and could not have asked for a better day in Durban.

The people here are as nice as always and I still feel so blessed to be in such a beautiful place everyday.  I cannot believe I have been here and month and am already dreading leaving.  Africa is beginning to hold such a special place in my heart and I really don't want this adventure to end.
