WOW it is weird to think that my mom is here in South Africa. She has been here for a week and it just feels surreal! The one awesome thing about her being here is she gets to see my world. Already she has had the chance to get to know some of my friends, do a little bit of sightseeing, and of course get a tour of Living Hope and the ministry that we do. One of mom’s favorite things so far has been having the chance to eat tons of seafood. She also is not a big fan of riding on the other side of the road and driving over the mountain to go anywhere. I believe she has worn a hole in her knees from holding on so tight.
Today started out a little stressful for me with my first day of seminary class but how awesome as soon as I got into class I was told we were getting out a little early. One of the reasons I had been a little stressed was I wanted mom to see the afternoon children’s clubs and of course I wanted her to get to see ALL of them. Well, I am in class Monday-Wednesday this week and Thursday it is a public holiday so that took care of this week……and then all we would have is Monday of next week. Well, God is good because I was able to get home from class today and we could go to Red Hill for her first afternoon children’s club.
I am looking forward to the rest of this week and getting to spend some more time with mom! We are making some amazing memories and here are a couple of highlights.
Having lunch with the Team House staff!
Mom enjoying all the wonderful seafood of South Africa!
Mom and I on safari enjoying some apple juice and checking out the animals!

Looks like ya’ll are having a great time! I’m thrilled that your mom was able to come. Enjoy the rest of the visit!
What a blessing to have a parent see you in action. You will both talk about it for years to come!
