A place where the Sun Shines
Well Hello everybody!!
I must say that it has been an awesome first week here in Durban/Phoenix, South Africa. Thabo has been taking Matt (room mate) and I around the area to do things and I actually just started driving a couple days agos. I guess all i can say at first it was a interesting experience because I was shifting with my left hand and driving on the left side of the road (only one time did i try to turn into the right lane..which i thought was good for a beginner) But any way I am still alive and accident free. Also this week I was able to plug in with the youth and enjoy hanging around them. We played a game called move your bum, which i think would be illegal in the states to to the intense contact and falling out of chairs that occurs doing it (fun game tho for sure:) ) i am excited to know that i will be discipling 3 to 4 of the youth guys as well. I’d try and spell there names but I would mess up horribly because they are all Zulu boys haha but once i get the spelling down i will let you know so you can keep them in your prayers. Church also went well this week and Matt and I were introduced in the church and upped the minority from 3 white people (Missonary -Darrly, wife Casey, and child Emma) to 5 haha..The church and the people are awesome tho and i think I will have to up my work out schedule due to eating over at peoples houses. Satz and Angie have been a pleasure to live with and are super hospitable! A huge blessing to Matt and I for sure. Besides that life is good, and I have been enjoying the warm weather and sun lit sky I am looking at as I am writing this. Hope everyone is well. Please be keeping me in your prayers for discernment, outgoingness:), and ability to relate with the youth…o and also that i keep driving in the left lane;) God Bless
