We have had one full day to explore SA. Can you believe that we have been freezing?! It’s cold and windy, so much so that we went out and bought slippers for the kids. To put it into perspective, it has hailed, sleeted and snowed since last night. We can see our breaths in the house! (There is no heat here…or air conditioning.) We began the day having breakfast with the Weinberg’s and then went into town to explore the sights. Although the weather has been dismal, it is so beautiful! The mountains are breathtaking. We are soaking in all of the sights, smells and sounds. Everyone is speaking to us in Africans, so we must blend in. We are looking forward to seeing more once the weather lifts.
We have had a change in plans as far as our work here. The building here at the camp is not ready to build , so in the mean time Ted and Jason are going to build a church in Malmesbury. Once that is complete, they will begin to work here at the PMR.
Today we went to the Malmesbury church which is temporarily meeting at a local school. We were encouraged by the message which was focused on Romans 12:1-5, and 1Peter:4. It was a nice reminder to put others first and strive to live each day to please God. The people are warm and friendly and very hospitable. Several of the ladies from church have volunteered to bring lunch to the guys each day.
We are feeling so grateful to be here, hopeful for the opportunities ahead. We know that this is where the Lord wants us right now, and that is an amazing feeling!
Until next time… Hugs!
In His Service,
The Boxes
