Hey!!

Man I didnt realise how long it had been since I had been on here!!...I'm so bad at this!

So much has changed I dont know where to start!  Ive started my final year at uni...very exciting!-I cant wait to finish in the summer.  I went back out to South Africa in the summer to work in Grabouw with a ministry called Agape which was amazing and I cant wait to go back out there.  Im joining a church plant at Easter so will move closer to that when I finish at uni.  Im not sure what next year holds for me yet but I will know when the time is right...many possibilities.  I also have a man in my life now too so that adds to things!

Hope to hear from you guys soon.  If you have a myspace add me! (www.myspace.com/lisadobbs)

Ok...once again I have been very bad at posting on here, I am very sorry .

I have just returned from a mission trip to Grabouw in South Africa.  Hopefully you will have got my report by email.  I have had the best time ever and God has really openned my eyes more to his plans for me which is really exciting.  I have been continually challenged and changed this summer and may it continue!  I am finding it really hard being back in English culture, which I would really value your prayers for.  A lot of things are making me angry and frustrating me, but God has called me to be here for now, so I need to find a way of being able to live in this culture without feeling this way.

I hope you are all well.  Thanks for all your updates...for those that havent, dont be like me...do it!!

Lots of Love xxx

Man, I haven't written on here in ages!!-I'm so sorry!

Well I have just finished my second year at uni and am off to South Africa in just under 6 weeks time for 3 weeks!  I'm really looking forward to it although it will be weird being with a different team.  I may get a chance to see a couple of people we met out there when I'm there which would be good (Jan and Garth for those of you that know them!).  I knew I'd be going back at some point but didnt expect it to be this soon!  I will then go into my last year at uni, which seems crazy its gone so quick!

Fay and Mike get married next week which is really exciting!  I get to see them, Miriam, Karen and anyone else thats going...YAY!!

Sorry this is short but love to you all,

WOOOOOOOO!! IM GOING BACK TO SOUTH AFRICA!!!

Im going to a place called Grabouw, which is in the Cape Province.  Criteria for the team I have put below.

Team size: 12

· Based with Agape Church and its various ministries reaching out into the local township
· You must love working with children to sign up for this team as you will be heavily involved in caring for children and babies with HIV/AIDS, helping in a crèche and a school and working with children who have disabilities
· There may also be opportunities for: Helping with a feeding programme, basic maintenance work and mural painting
· The team will be involved in cell and youth meetings
· It’s the South African winter in August so be warned, it will be very cold. Whilst some days will be clear and warm, be prepared for rain and frost in the mornings and no heating!· The team is likely to stay in the church building. It will be basic!· Weather permitting, you’ll be able to visit Table Mountain and tour the Cape Peninsular

I would really appreciate your prayers as all the preparation for it will be during this last term of this academic year at Uni, which is always the most stressful and for me is also very busy.

Its been great reading updates, I'm sorry I havent been keeping it up.

Love and Prayers, Lisa xxx
