In South Africa
I have arrived and am here in Vosloorus, South Africa. I have been building relationships with my host family and getting accustomed to the time change. I have been waking up at 2:30 every morning, except today when I was able to sleep in until 5am. The land that Felito is trying to get is going through a process of meetings but we landed a temporary plot until we can get permanent residence. Tomorrow, we will go claim the land that another pastor is graciously giving us. Felito's car broke down and this has caused many problems. This is the most urgent prayer request because without the car, he doesn't have the mobility to get everything else done. However, we are excited to start and getting the temporary land is a definite blessing from God. I love being here and surprise every person when I greet them with "Sawubona". I am learning a lot of household Sotho words with my host family. In our house, I have my own room and am very comfortable. Thank you everyone who is reading these for your prayers and support. Our ministry is joint. Yerling, I love you and thank you for praying for me each day. You are in my prayers as well! Mom, Dad and Heather, I am excited to have you visit me in June. My host family awaits your arrival. Unkulunkulu akubusise! God bless you!
