Subject: An update from Jeremy out of South Africa.

	An update?!? This late?!?Ha... yeah Dear Friends, Thank you for all your prayers and support. I know it’s been a while since my last update. Oh wait… last time you heard from me I was probably asking you for money… But after a little more than 2 months there is a lot to tell, probably more than I would ever be able to write down. So you can ask me all about it when I get home in a month. Lets see, how shall I start off this update? English class wasn’t exactly my strongest subject… Let me start off by saying that if you thought I was going to loose weight here in Africa, you were SO wrong. The food here is very delicious and very filling. A standard South African meal usually looks like Pap (a porridge made of ground maize), some sort of meat (usually chicken) and sometimes cabbage or spinach. And you don’t really use spoons or forks. It’s all hands baby! And I must say, I’m getting quite good at it. I currently reside in a little room behind my host family, the Bocabas. They have 3 kids that are still living at home. Betty (25), Thabang (22) and Morongwa (18). There are also a whole lot of youth that hang out at the house where I stay. I have been making lots of friends and we’re always hanging out or walking somewhere. One of my friends named Sifiso calls me “Lekoah lakah” which means “my white guy”. Besides doing stuff with the team and my friends like visiting orphanages and other ministry, I have a "personal ministry". My personal ministry is teaching guitar to anyone who wants to learn. Some of these kids are very talented and pick it up very quickly. Others, not so much, but they're trying. But unfortunately, a lot of them don't show up on a regular basis, so it’s necessary to just drop everything and hang out with them when they do come.  Umm… yeah… that’s the update. I’m not exactly sure what else to put in this thing… I’m doing really well. I have been making lots of friends, eating lots of food, reading a lot and getting to know Jesus. What more could you ask for? Not much. Not much. Again, I would like to thank you for all your prayers and support. Sorry for not sending an update earlier. It’s difficult when you’re busy all the time and the Internet isn’t as accessible. Yep. That’s my excuse.  Thank you, Jeremy Sheahan
