dear wellspring family,
the moz missions team has arrived safely! they came in last night, and we spent this afternoon at k2. some of them wanted to come into the office this evening to contact you, but i haven't heard from them after parting. but they are safe and well, and i'm sure you'll hear from them shortly!
contrasting to the hot weather of only three days ago, today has been quite the opposite. it was cold, misting and raining for a bit, so it wasn't exactly the type of weather one would imagine when he/she thinks of africa. normally, i would spend an evening like this cozying up in my couch, popping in a movie, and watching it with close friends while sipping on some hot chocolate.
but with changed circumstances, i am slowly learning how to find suitable alternatives:
(1) engage in random conversations with housemates.
(2) read.
(3) sleep.
although any of the above would've given me more than enough satisfaction to conclude the day, i thought i'd take this opportunity to do something i promised long ago.
i haven't actually taken any photos during my training period. so here are some images from my trip to blyde river canyon [9-6-08].

looks like they need more male footprinters :)
oh yeah, please say hello to the wellspringers for me!
(this is jason again) great pics. we went to God's window as well, and had that same view. i had the same question as charlie, but a few of those pics are dslr all the way. btw, linda will deny it to no end, but she secretly LOVES biltong. make sure she doesnt overstuff her luggage with it when she leaves = )
are you a fan of rooibos yet?
thanks Hannah for letting us know that the Wellspring team is safe. My bro-in-law, John is part of the team. Say "Hi!" for me. Thanks!
Great pics!

how nice to see some familiar scenes. as jason said - we went to god's window last year... i agree, verrry touristy. :)
please don't let linda bring home any biltong.
the pancakes (dutch style?) look sooo good! :)

Hi Hannah! We're almost done getting our newsletter together. I'll e-mail you a copy once it's done. Thanks for the interview!
Man, your pictures bring back so many memories. I enjoyed God's window, too. And YES, I miss biltong. In fact, I asked Linda to get me some =)
Take care. Many of us are praying for you!!
my my, i won't be wearing that shirt anymore, haha :D
but my camera is a dslr! (nikon d80)
nice pics, hannah! the moz team this year didn't get to visit God's window, but it was beautiful!
jason, meg & jj: fyi, i did attempt to bring back some kudu and ostrich biltong for the team last year, but it got confiscated at customs at dulles. too bad...after trying to resist eating it for the 30-hr. journey home. :(
