Today is Thursday and we have finished the gutters and the downspouts!!!  Believe it or not, we had just dismantled the scaffolding and were packing up everything, and it started to rain.  Very big drops at first and then the heavens opened up.  We all stood back and proudly watched as we witnessed the gutters and downspouts being used for the very first time!  God in his ever wonderful ways allowed us to admire our handiwork firsthand!  Truly amazing!

We went into town again today and this time we visited the hospital.  We went to the children's ward and gave out soft stuffed animals to all of the children.  Their smiling faces were wonderful.  I helped with homework again today and read a story to the kindergartners.  Some team members took naps and rested up. 

Our team has started working on our "mural".  It was great fun during our brainstorming session late last night, putting all of the ideas together.  We're pretty proud of our sketch, so far.

Tonight, we had dinner at an Italian pizzaria.  The menu said 38.95 for all you can eat, so we decided to try it.  (Okay, it was 38.95 Rand, which amounts to about $3.89 apiece!)  They brought out pizza after pizza and walked around the room, offering various slices to whoever wanted more!  Some interesting ingredients on some of them, but all very delicious.

As Gene's note said, we are unable to tour the gold mine, as we had hoped, but don't worry.  We are definitely NOT bored.

We may have time for one more note before we leave South Africa.  It has been a wonderful journey in so many ways, and we are all looking forward to sharing our stories and photos with all of you.
