We've Arrived in South Africa

On Tuesday, July 27th we departed from Chicago for Johannesburg, South Africa and arrived on Thursday, July 29th, after nearly a day stop over in London. If you are wondering, of course we did not stay in the airport. We ventured out into London for the day (but sadly took no photos to share).

It is our third week here; we are slowly getting to know our jobs at the St. Francis Care Center and the St. Francis Clinic (more to come on that later). We received a visit from Kim Smolik -- a photo from our day long tour of Soweto with Sr. Connie (a sister of Mercy) is below. Sr. Connie is a native of Soweto.

We look forward to sharing more about our work and our adventures soon.
