Hello everyone!
So I made it to South Africa okay and I am loving it! Everyone on my team is really nice. I’m learning so much about the culture here and myself. We’ve been here a week today, and this is our off day we are at a mall in Pertoria. Tomorrow we leave for Swaziland! I am so excited. Alabanza, the place we are staying is great and we are spoiled missionaries! I love you all so much and I’m sorry I couldn’t write much this time but will write more as soon as I can! Thank you for all of your support and prayers!
Love, Bailey
Thank goodness you are there safe and sound! Let’s keep it that way. Let us here from you when you can, you are in our thoughts and prayers always!
Love, Mom and Dad
Bailey also e-mailed me a few more details and I have added them below……
“I’ve been doing great got a little sick this week with diarehhea (or however you spell it) and today we’re at the Pertoria mall on free day. So they don’t have wireless internet at Alabanza but it’s okay. We started ministry this week in a township called Atteridgeville… it’s A LOT of little shacks made of tin and cardboard…and I mean lots! Like hills and hills of them, we just went into the streets and kids just come up to you… they just want someone to love them and play with them. It’s really awesome! Alabanza has been great …way better than training camp. I have lots of pictures but no way to load them on here b/c im not on my computer.. I’m using one in a store! Tomorrow we leave for Swaziland! Ahh! so exciting! We’re going to be working in hospitals and with carepoints were they feed orphanes!”
YAY! I love you, Bailey. You are awesome. God is going to do some great thing there through you. Tell everyone I say HI!

Dear Bailey, You will never know just how much we love you and are so proud of you. Never in our wildest dreams, did we ever think of having a grandchild being a missionary in Africa. It is mind-boggling!!! We pray for you each day for your safety and happiness. GOD IS SHINING ON YOU, NOW, DEAR CHILD. Love, G & G
