4-9-15. update

 
Hello from South Africa, if I can I plan on posting a couple of little videos soon. This week has been devoted to educational meetings for most of the days. The area we are in is beautiful in a rugged and harsh way. If we were to make use of our exodus from the city, then we needed to take initiate of the situation and make journeys during our “free” time that has been scheduled down to the minute. Our meetings are at Gariep dam in South Africa, the scenery is phenomenal, and our meeting hall is completely closed off – the windows are closed and the whole of the hall is covered in sheets, so that the area we are in has no meaning.

So we go in the PM until dark and hike the hills and around the lake, we also went out in the AM yesterday (5-530) in order to hike to the top of one of the mountains before the sunrise. In the recent days I have seen Springbok and Kudu, Foxes (or Jackals), and neat little African Hares. The meetings are beneficial for finding out what is going on in other parts of this portion of the world. In what ways HE is moving and how the servants are working.

It has been really nice to get to talk to people at this meeting, to be able to know where people are working and what they are doing in those areas. Our work in JoBurg has been less in the recent weeks, there have been less guys coming compared to that in the past months. The women are still coming to English classes in droves…but that doesn’t matter for us because of the social differences disallowing the cross gender teaching. The lull in male students has given us time to go out to nearby shops and to talk and start building relationships among other working men.
