"Thank You" or "The Power of Prayer and Scrambled Eggs"

Oh Lindsey today has been so glorious!! One of the things that has been weighing on me so heavily lately is getting our leases taken over for this year. I have done all I feel I can to try and find people, posting ads and flyers everywhere, all to no avail. I felt completely out of ideas. Then today, I get this voicemail:

"Hello Genevieve, this is Monique from Campus Way to let you know that we have an opportunity today for you to get out of your lease without paying the $350 fee. Please come into the office before 1pm today to sign the papers or we will make the offer to someone else. Thank you."

PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

I have the biggest weight off my shoulders I don't even care about how difficult it's gonna be to move out of this place! Cooper is on his way home to sign the papers and we'll be free! I am absolutely ecstatic right now. heavens to Betsy.

This is my positively outstanding Thursday morning.
I wish you were here so I could hug you!
I love you.

Oh yay, that's wonderful news! I can't wait to call you and talk to you on Saturday! I'll still be in NY then, but at least I'll be able to use my cell phone! And really, NY is like a half a world closer to you than Africa.

I'm living the high life in Namibia right now--spending a lot of time with the Afrikanner crowd and getting a whole new perspective on Southern Africa.

I have SO much to tell you about. Genevieve, as much as I miss home, and I really do, even in Namibia, which is really similar to SA, I feel like I've left my heart in South Africa. As difficult as Zulu is, I miss hearing people speak it. I miss my host families and KwaZulu Natal and the city of Durban. I don't know if my blogs, which are written for such a wide audience, have communicated the emotion that I really feel for this country. I do think that next time I come, I will plan to stay for a much longer time. It makes me heartsick to leave.

That said, I am very excited about your new apartment with Cooper, and I'm sure that this will be the greatest year ever. I miss you terribly, and I cannot wait to spend days and days together when I get back!
