Love South Africa

Hello greetings from South Africa!

We have had a great last few days in South Africa! Yesterday we were able to explore and learn about the history in South Africa. We went to a museum, saw Nelson Mandela's house, also went to the soccer stadium where the World Cup was played last summer. Everyone on the team really enjoyed and learned so much. We have two contacts Mark and Adriann they are incredible and have been such a joy to partner with. We have spent a lot of time at Adriann's house. We have fallen in love with his two kids! They host us every night and cook us a feast for dinner! So we are getting fed very well here :)

We leave tomorrow morning bright and early for Kwamhlanga which is a children's community center. We will be spending a lot of time with the kids there and doing outreaches in the community. We are so excited to see what God has in store for us and the people we will meet. We will be there for about a week. I am not sure about our internet connection at Kwamhlanga so if you don't hear from me while we are there you will receive an email when we return. Thank you for your continue you prayers! Please continue to pray for our team as we travel to a new location. Pray for boldness for each individual, for unity amongst our team, and of coarse safety and health as we travel. Looking forward to my next email until then I have asked each person on our team to write a little something to the ones they love back home so I will leave you to read them. We love you friends and family!!! Thanks for your support as we follow after God's calling on our lives.
