Hey everyone. Welcome to our new home on the internet. Thanks to our friend Adam Beaugh in Austin for designing this for us!
It’s been a great first week of meeting people, trying to get organized, and getting used to running in the altitude. I’m thankful that both Michelle and I have been able to connect to the staff and students here very well. There are 10 different countries represented amongst the 35 students here including Congo, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Zambia, England, USA and Peru! You can’t really come here are feel culturally “out” because nobody is really “in”. It’s fun to learn and to watch people learn from each other. And there is always hot water boiled for tea which, of course, I have been taking full advantage of.
Besides drinking tea, Michelle and I have been sitting in on lectures to get a feel for exactly what the guys are learning here. I’ve also been playing lots of cricket and soccer and learning the full scope of the ministry here and around Africa.
Michelle and I took the day off yeasturday and went to Johannasburg to hang out with our friends Warren and Kaylee. We were able to see their new home and visit their church. They also treated us to some great pizza.
Soon we will be buying a car that will be navigating a lot of dirt roads. We don’t want to choose the wrong one so if you would like to pray for that we would appreciate it.
We will hopefully add some pictures to the sight when we are with my parents in Durban next week as the internet connection here on the farm is very limited.
