Day 40: The locals seem to have grown accustome to my presence and have accepted me as one of there own. Thoughts of my previous life have started to fade and words like 'patient', 'dentures' and 'medical aid' are rearly spoken. Instead my days are filled with spontanuous 'adventures' such as being abandoned in the bush for days and having to compete for food or being told to 'build a road' with no actual knowledge of what a road consists of (a fact that I have yet to admit to my new family).

It's been an incredible 6 weeks of traing in J-bay, Transkei, Cape Town and all over the Eastern Cape.

I can only thank God that I don't have to do anything without Him.
