alright
first prayer requests:
-Tomorrow I am going in to renew my visa. I might get one more chance, but, this is pretty big, so please be praying.
-WORK there's a lot to prepare for for the teams coming in June and July, so that gives us about 4 weeks to do EVERYTHING. Pray for diligence and the right attitude
second Praises
God is so good. I preached on Sunday, and there was a lot that God did to give me grace in doing that. Today, I almost got hit by a Semi, but I was spared. Traffic here is pretty bad. On monday I was thinking, and it's jsut really incredible that I'm here. I mean, looking back, it's all God, 100% from the day I heard about it till now.Praise his name for that.

Well, Kruger (Kruger National Park is a Wilderness preserve where animals live in true wild. The zebras eat the grass, the lions eat the zebras etc) was amazing, we saw Rhinos, Giraffe, Lions, Hippos, Vultures, Owls, Buffalo, Elephants, Crocodiles, Kudu, Impala, Wildebeasts (yeah, we almost got charged by a young elephant when we stopped between it and it's mother) but we didn't see the Leopard. The most elusive creature in the wild. We slept out under the stars everynight, and yeah, it was a great camping trip. From there we went to Giant's castle, a nature preserve of immeasurable beauty. If you come to SA, you gotta check out Giants Castle. Pictures coming soon. And now I'm back, and strapping myself back into work mode. Some things to pray for -Please continue to pray for my visa situation. It's just a waiting game, and everytime a new piece of paperwork comes in, I head back to Home Affairs, so please pray for patience, and that the Office will process it the next time I go in. -Please Pray for Mercy Bible Church, our church plant that I am working closely with. We are still in process of starting a church building, so please pray for the process of contracting all the labor, and the donation of funds. This Sunday I will be preaching their for the second time. Pray that the people will be built up. -In June, summer teams come to begin work on the work site, and there is MUCH preparation required. Pray that I will be diligent, and have things set for them, and that their time will be profitable and enjoyable. That's all for now, I will put up pictures on Friday. Or thereabouts. Just Now. ~M |
A Family of baboons. They are cute as babis, but pretty gross when they grow up. And they are very mischievious as well.
An elephant. We almost got charged by a young one of these.
Here's me at Mclaren's Beacon, the highest peak of Table Mountain
These are mopane worms. We ATE them. mmm...
