The Journey So Far...

      Hello, world! It seems like a week ago we boarded up the bus at BBC, still energized and psyched for the journey ahead and not the 48 hours that have really passed. On the back end of the traveling, I can tell you for certain that we are NOT still energized. Two flights in two days sandwiching a hectic tour of London really does take it out of you. But we are doing our best to catch up – everyone has fallen asleep on transport at least once today, and I have a feeling bed time will be right after devotion tonight.

      However, we are still so, so psyched to work this upcoming week with our LSEs, or Life Skill Educators. We met them this afternoon to talk over the next week and get to know them better, and I for one am really excited to work with such fun, focused, and godly people. Today, which happened to be Drug Abuse Awareness Day, we walked around Capricorn, one of the townships we will be working in this week, giving out informational flyers and balloons to the people to raise awareness of Living Hope’s rehab and devotion program. It was obvious from all the people the LSEs greeted and the stories they told us that they really love their community.

     After lunch, we hiked up the rocky beach right outside the Team House and had a few trust fall exercises, most of which succeeded. The landscape is so beautiful here. I fully expected a film crew to come around the corner with huge name celebrities in tow, but nope, it’s just another surfer. Both the landscape and the LSEs are present and real reminders of God’s power and love.

We know all of you are praying for our mission and us, so I’ll take this time to say thank you. You got us and our luggage here in one piece, so you can be sure that your prayers are doing something over here. Keep praying for us each day!

From Cape Town with Love,
