June 25th

Well hello everyone,
I hope you are all keeping well. I don't know if anyone is reading this anymore after me lengthy intervals between posts. Just in case it has been a while for you, I am still in South Africa. However I now know when I will be returning home; June 25 I will land on Canadian soil. It is a mixture of emotions to say the least. I am nervous to come home and nervous to leave Africa behind. However, I am bound and determined to make future plans about my life based on what is right for me. I do not want Canada to sway me in one direction and Africa to sway me in another. I need to start making decisions based on what is right for me. In no way am I saying that my time in Africa was not the right decision. On the contrary, it was the best decision and it will be the year that will look back on the most I am sure. I know that Africa will always be apart of my future. In what way, for how long, and when I will return is still to be decided.
On another note I have meet with visitors over the past two months which I have yet to write about. During the first two weeks in March, I had the unbelievable blessing of having my parents enter into my African life. It was an awesome time. I have tried to express to them (and have failed miserably) how much it meant to me to have them here. As you all know my parent are freaking amazing and I love them very much. We had an amazing time traveling through the community meeting my friends and family in Masoyi. I think they really enjoyed their time. We then spent three night in the Kruger National Park and we were very blessed to see all of the Big 5 except for a leopard. We then travelled to Mozambique for an amazing time on the Beach's of Bazaruto island. We had a great time and had talks that I will take with me for the rest of my life.
The pictures of our time together is on the left hand side of my blog.
After my time with my parents (which flew by!) I headed up to Zambia. I had an amazing time with the team from my church which included many friends. I want to thank that team once again from allowing me to be a part of your time up there. How is your ipOd working Chels? I had great laughs with Chels, Stan, Dauna, Rich, Jeremy, Jayne, and many more. After three days with them, I travelled down to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia and spent 10 days with my amazing Uncle Dave. He works for Athletes in Action and they had a team in Zambia to train South East African employees who are interested in being apart of AIA. We had a great time and they gave me the opportunity to share with the guys on a program that we run here with Hands. We had a great time with the guys, going to the markets, and watching a wild soccer game! Memories I will hold onto for the rest of my life! I love ya Uncle Dave.
So, that was March and April (although a lot more has happened within work and I promise to update again soon for those of you who are still with me).
I love you all and thank you for your continued support!!!
P.S. I, along with my friends Marc and Jed built a hockey net out of pcp pipe and a mosiquito net. I think Don Cherry would be proud. You can see the pictures of us at www.heubner.blogspot.com

Quick Note from Zambia

Hi Everyone,
Sorry my posts are lacking but haven't felt very inspired lately. I had a great time with my parents a few weeks back and I am now in Zambia. I had a great time seeing the WKC team for a couple days. I had a blast with them. I am now in Lusaka with my Uncle Dave and a Athletes in Action team. It has been a good time to get into another African country. I might head back to Ndola for a few days and hang out with Levy who runs the youth project in Masoyi. He is Zambian and might be coming here for a few days.
Just thought I would check-in on my birthday!
Hope you are all well,
Dan
