Tales of South Africa: School assemblies, and shopping! 5th day there

Today we had to wake up at 6 to go to the school assemblies. I was incredibly tired!
When we got to the school there were kids everywhere and we waved to them, it was really cool! there were ALOT of kids there and it was a pretty big room! at the beginning of our ministry the kids were kind of shy and reserved but by the end we had brought them out of those shells and they were having tons of fun! it was fun making kids smile while singing the songs and such. the ministry went well and God totally spoke through us.
When it was time to leave we started highfiving the kids and we started getting pulled in and not wanting to leave. it was evn harder when a little girl comes up to me and says "Jesus! you are my best friend!" while doing the motions and gives me a big hug! it was SO sweet and little did she know it was my favorite song on the CD.
it was just an incredible time there!!
Clive tookus all the way to the Cape of good hope, we did alot of walking but it was totally worth it! especially when we got to stand and pray on the southern most tip of Africa! we all got to get postcards at some shops there.
after that we had lunch, then he took us to see the penguins!!! it was SUPER awesome!
we headed back to clive's house for a little while, then he took us to the Cape town fish market so he could look for soccer jerseys for us. we ended up eating at this seafood place, i was expecting some super gross fish, but it was super delicious! best fish i've ever tasted.
we found these SWEET sinks that were like marble slabs tilted so the water just ran down them into a drain. it was soooo awesome.
we drove home and most of us fell asleep again.
We had shirt washing to do after that, the boys washed their shirts then went straight to bed because they were sleepy heads. us girls stayed there later and snapped the water and wrinkles out of the shirts!
Me and mickey stayed up awhile and had a really good talk while the guys jabbered having their 'man talk' ( they must have caught a second wind)
