Messages From Okahandja

TOIVO
Hi everyone in New Hampshire! I am with the group, and I am 15 years old, and I am enjoying everyone second of it. Well I will tell you about myself; I am child of 4 children and I am the oldest, I used to live at the orphanage in Okahandja which is about 40 km north of Windhoek that’s where I met Brenda Johnston, Brenda saw I did well at school , so when I was 12 years old I went to school in Windhoek, called the Windhoek international school, and I am sponsored by a German man called Roland Schmidt, the school is the best school in Namibia, can you believe it offer the IB curriculum, it’s a curriculum which can give you access to any university. And this year I am in grade 9, and I am doing well at school, I want to be a doctor one day, I want to study in states then probably go to India and work there, as missionary doctor.

Before I go I just want to thank anyone that gave me clothes and stuff I really appreciate it. And Rebecca Waitt I do really miss you and wish you were here. GOD BLESS!!!

Hey guys, I’m glad to hear that you had a good time at Mike’s house. I was wondering if you guys had gone to Canada.. guess not. Did dad get his bike yet? How’s Tyrone? (my balloon) I went swimming in the ocean yesterday. The locals where wearing sweaters ‘n’ stuff. It felt like Hampton in the spring. Say hi to everyone for me. Love and miss you guys.

Hi Mom and Dad! And ben. I am doing great. We went swimming in warm water. And we climbed a big sand mountain thing. You know when you see on the movies those people who are trapped in the dessert? Ya that really sucks. I thought it would be cool but no…I saw a warthog. It kinda looked like pumba but not really…its not the lion king over here which I thought it would be. Love Bert

Hey all, amazing things are happening here. God has definitely been changing lives, especially mine, in ways I could have only imagined. I feel that walls I’ve built up over the years are crashing down. Mom I hope that you are partying hard and being crazy, Love to Nate, ash, and everyone reading. Nate I hope in the days that I’m gone God is able to show you amazing things. I have such great hope…always and forever.
