"Because of a 24-hour flight delay on the way there (due to snow in Chicago), we missed our first 2 firesides. But we were still able to perform in Johannesburg, Benoni, Roodeport, for a non-LDS church in Hazyview, and in Swaziland."

 

 

 

"We raised $ before the trip to help this orphanage, and we spent a day there with the kids. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Dan and I fell in love with the little 4-year old Madeli (see the picture of me hugging her), and are in the process of trying to adopt her. A huge thanks to the many people who donated $ and items for this orphanage. "

"Part of my heart will forever be connected to South Africa. Something about this country enthralled me. I loved the people, the landscape, the cultures. This trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never forget."
