hey thought i would send my greeting from across africa. i've been home for about 2 and a half weeks and its been good. i arrived to a kinda overcast sky but then it was a pleasant 18 degrees C, at 7 in the morn so it was all good. a brief run down of what i've been up to include going on a week long camp. it was awesome. i was in charge of the baby dorm they are 12 and 13. there photos of my friends spike on the trampoline, my friend laura at the dairy next to the sweetest baby cows (every morning we went tot he dairy to get milk for breakfast at camp), all the leaders on camp in red shirts and a funny pic we took with us under the car!




it was cool i swam in dam, went tubing, ate lots of yummy food, laughed till my stomach hurt and had alot of fun . that was fun. and now i'm back home preparing for Christmas. its a bit weird it being hot coz last year was a cold Christmas but i aint complaining. i spend my days hanging out in the sun with my friends , having coffee and generally enjoying being home. saying that there are a few hang ups like having powercuts for a very long time. longest weve had is 2 days with no electricity!! (drove me crazy!) the cellphone network not working so you cant really get hold of your friends immediatley but you have to try for like 10 mins. gotta love it all (not really)

kay well enjoy your Christmas and New year. i pray that it is a Happy and safe holiday.
Happy Holidays folks

love from me

Leaving

Hello my furry friends!

Just taking a break from packing and wanted to say that i fly out 2morrow back home for Christmas. I might post while i am away but that all depends on how fast the snail-internet back home. Otherwise if not will post once i return to the Land of Eng. But hope you all have an awesome Christmas and New year and i'll be on msn and email if you need to get hold of me!!

Right back to packing........

Friends

I have been thinking a lot about the special people called friends. In small group this week we looked at proverbs 27 and talked about our friends, how we should and would like to treat them, how they should treat us and a load of different other things. It was pretty cool because they boys split off into their own group and the girls were in our own group. It made it easier to be more open with answers and questions.

It got me thinking at how special friends are. At times i know i've taken many of my friends for granted but this week i have really been able to appreciate all my friends do for me and been reflecting. I think it could be the fact that i have met up with everyone because i am leaving early for Christmas. I had a sleep over on friday with Melody (mermaid) and Ruth (ducky). It was the last one with Mel before she goes off to Aussie land. Mel and i went to watch flushed away at the movies and like 3/4 through they had a fire scare and we had to be evacuated out of the building and we got complimentary tickets, to which i am going to use to see another movie, even though i did not finish flushed away. We went to Hungry for God and then we went to collect our giant Dominos pizza and went home to watch the rest of the lost episodes. (Ducky fell asleep!! can you believe it?) Only got to sleep at about half four felt pretty shattered the next day.

I then went to Steve and Mins to say bye and had supper which was delicious! That was Sat night Rachel came along too was good to see her and catch up. We watched Home Alone!! Oh yeah!!! It brought back loads of memories!! Then we watched Cars.

Today i went to the pub after church and had a drink with friends and people from small group (they are also my friends! :-)
Managed to whip Oli's ass at table football!! It was just sitting round the table that i thought again, looking round at everyone that i'm pretty lucky to have friends in my life. In my 22 years i've had to say bye to friends as they have either moved on or moved away and i have thought how it sucked (which it did) But then i think that i am really glad that i had that time with friends to get to know them and stuff. The laughs, chats, tears and all.

So i just wanna say if you reading this your probably my friend (if not ummmm thanks for reading......i guess :-) Thanks for being my friend and know that you are very special to me!

Happy 4th of December

So it has been a while since i last posted because i noticed the blogging has changed and i have just spent an hour converting my blog to beta version and now i am ready to roll! So what has been happening in the life of Mudiwa Ezmeralda Zamchiya? (kidding middle name isnt Ezmeralda, i don't even have one!) I've been getting on with uni. My last year has been flying by like a blimin concorde. Seriously time has been disappearing so fast. Its Christmas soon and i am going back home to Zim on tuesday! I actually can't wait. Will be good to see the Family and also the SUN !! Looking forward to going on camp which starts on Sunday. Thats a week long and involves looking after teenage girls, leading worship, giving talks(mine is on how to live a wholehearted life for Jesus) and oh skiing (on water), game viewing, abseiling (which i will watch and not do, its the heights). Basically its a week filled with loads of fun and awesome times.

This last week has been pretty hectic! I have been forced to do some work and ACTUALLY think and do work on my Dissertation. It's all good i went to library and got a stack of books, now i just have to read them aaaaaggghhh!! I dont know whether i want to take them with me, when i go home because they weigh so much?
