An Amazing Race

     Part of our internship includes traveling around to different churches, sitting in on their youth programs, and observing different strategies. Friday night we went to a church in Joberg. We had a great time playing games with all the kids. 

     Saturday morning we went on “The Amazing Race: Heidelberg, South Africa.” The year-long trainees and the six week interns were mixed and broken up into three groups. Starting in Extension 23, we were given a series of envelopes that contained puzzlers and riddles that led us all over the city. Each challenge required effort from every member –incredibly team building.  After successfully completing all the challenges (with group selfies at each destination) we ended at a host family’s house where we ate Chili over rice. So much fun!!!

Our accommodations at Camp Eden are much nicer than this but I did give it a try for the experience. No toilet paper. No flush. A window in a door that doesn't shut all the way. 
Extension 23.
Siphiwe and Simbonile love Jesus. I felt very safe with them.
One of our challenges landed us at the police station. On good terms of course.
The old prison. So much sass. 
The whole crew. My team won ;)
