Things have been mad busy for us. Church has exploded into a world of construction machines and guys in blue outfits, due to the ongoing construction of a big tent. This tent is going to be our church's new place of worship and it needs to be up by Easter, so everyone is super-go mode. What else?
Mmm. We recently got back from a trip to Mthatha, which is a city in the Eastern Cape, about five hours drive away from us. We were there visiting some friends of ours who are also working with Mennonite Mission Network, and we did lots of fun things. Here is a list:
- made a million donuts! no lie. i may be exaggerating a tiny bit. maybe it was more like 900,000.
- went to their church and fellowshiped with their friends, for a LONG time.
- sweated to death. it was so hot...
- went to a "farming God's way" workshop, including a demonstration (in the hot hot heat, but it's all gravy).
- went to a nelson mandela museum (mthatha is where nelson mandela is from!).
- made skirts! yay!! skirt party!
- listened to/stole lots of cool music from their cool iTunes collection.
So it was a good time. We got home on Tuesday and jumped right back into church life.
In other news, I went running yesterday AND today! Maybe it's the beginning of a new, fit, super-healthy life for me! We'll see. My hips are sore so I don't know...but I believe in myself.
In other other news, the time we have left here is getting shorter and shorter every day (duh) and it's very sad. In about four months it will be time to go home! I don't want to go home. I am currently dealing with a lot of confusion as to what God is calling me to next. So please pray for that.
I want to see the skirts!
