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.
