Super M!
    While hanging out in JBay last week, we were approached by a girl about our age, asking if we were from America. After confirming that we were, we entered into a convo that lasted quite some time. I learned that Emi spent about six months in the states last year working at a summer camp-which is how she recognized our accents. We quickly became good friends. It was so neat to hang out with her, and her friends who were on vacation here in Jbay. All from Pretoria, which is crazy, because that is where I have spent most of my trip so far, Emi and her friends really opened my eyes to the Afrikans culture.  I even got a few language lessons while hanging out on the beach with them. Emi, aka SuperM, made my week. It was so exciting to be able to hang out with people our age each afternoon, and learn about each other. We share so many similarities in addition to our faith. Emi happens to have a heart for America, and while right now I am completely in love with south Africa. Its crazy how God works, and brings people together from different cultures to encourage one another.  I am sure that Emi and I will be able to keep in contact for quite some time, hopefully forever!
