So I know I
haven’t written a blog in a long time and for that I am sorry. We have been
really busy here with different things and I are reading a book called Exiles
that pretty much takes up all my free time. Well tomorrow is Thanksgiving and
we will have a big Thanksgiving meal together and then we have Friday through
Monday off to explore South Africa a bit more. Myself and four other girls are going
to a place called Plettenberg Bay for the weekend. It is about three or four
hours away from Jeffrey’s Bay. Before we go to Plett on Friday we are going
bungee jumping with about half of our team! I’m soooo excited! ALSO, on Sunday
my friend Alyssa and I are going SHARK CAGE DIVING!!! I’m soooo stinkin
excited! So yeah I’m excited for this weekend!
Soooo in January, I will be going to
Swaziland until May! I am pretty excited about this! A few weeks ago we had a
week of fasting and prayer and God gave me some pretty neat confirmation about
going to Swazi! God is already breaking my teams hearts for Swazi and I am so
anxious to see what He is going to do there, but I will miss Jbay and the
people here so so much!
Our house visit ministry here is going
great! We are building some neat relationships but we leave in about three
weeks which is going to be really sad. One girl from my house visit team is
staying in Jbay until May so she will be able to continue in the relationships
we have been building, which will be awesome! We have been praying for our
friend Theodora to get a job for awhile and she got one! This is extremely
exciting because jobs are really hard for the people in the townships to get.
Another one of our friends, Sweetness, is still looking for a job so please
pray for her. Apparently she got one and worked for a week and the guy didn’t
pay her so she quit but there is really nothing she can do about it which
sucks! We have a friends Davidson who is 25 and just moved to Jbay. He is
addicted to smoking and alcohol. He told us he wants to stop and he said he
knows God wants him to stop but I guess it is easier said than done. He has
started going to church with us though so that is cool! Please pray for
Davidson! You can also pray for Marta, Regina, Gladis, and all of Ocean View
and Tokyo Sexwhale! Please pray that God would use my house visit team, Blair,
La, Alexis and myself, in insane ways during our last 10 days of ministry! That
is all we have left is 10 ministry days! It is crazy! Time is flying by!
God is doing so many others things and
it is all so overwhelming but at the same time extremely exciting! He is
teaching me how to trust Him like I’ve never trusted Him before! He is teaching
me what it is truly like to be a Christ follower! Our team of 55 people,
including our leaders, is more unified now than ever before! We are all
learning, growing, and being stretched together! It’s a beautiful but extremely
exhausting thing haha!
I miss each and every one of you back
home so so SO much! You are on my heart often! Please know that you are in my
prayers and I know God is working back home just as He is here in Jbay!
Continue to pursue God and just be real! Being real is what He wants from us I
think!
P.S. If you
ever want to call me I would love to hear from anyone and everyone! You can
call me using skype which costs like $0.02 a minute or you can get a calling
card and call me that way! My number is 27792550247. Love you guys!
