On Wednesday, we had some free time to shop in downtown Swakopmund. In front of a little cafe, there was a large, wooden elephant that seemed just right for a photo opp.
On Sunday, we were able to give the Sunday school children dresses, hats, and Samaritan's Purse Christmas Shoeboxes. This is Sarah, who is around 1 1/2 years old.
This is Emka, 8 (top left), Beauty, 6 (top right), Sarah, 1 1/2 (bottom left), and Claudia, 3 (bottom right). These four girls are sisters, and they have one brother named Joseph also.
On Monday, we did the girls Holiday Club. This is only a small portion of the 350-400 girls in attendance.
On Wednesday morning, I had the opportunity to use Sign Language to communicate with a woman named Melania, who was Deaf. Carol stumbled upon Melania during her morning walk on the beach, and brought her to our house because she knew I could try and communicate with her.
On Friday, we went to the Okapuka Game Reserve. This is a crocodile that we saw, right along the side of the road, about 5 feet from our vehicle.
On the 4 hour drive from Windhoek to Swakopmund, we stopped along the side of the road. Mom and I took this opportunity for a quick picture.
Both this picture and the previous one were taken out of the beach, which was literally right out of our backyard. On some nights, we got back from Arundis with enough time to walk outside before the sun went down - or while the sun was going down in this case.
