Update

I’ve had a busy few days, and not enough time to process all the things that have been happening. I was able to go to church on Sunday because the couple who runs our guest house gave me a ride. This time I went to an English language service. It was a “blended” worship service, and rather similar to what you might experience in the States except the congregation was decidedly international. We got to hear a really amazing testimony…I’ll probably post on that later, after Jeff and Mtoto get home.
After church we went out to lunch, to the same yummy schwarma place I went to before, and then, since it was such a hot day, we had to stop by my favorite ice cream shop. I swear it wasn’t even my idea…mostly.
Yesterday we went back to Mama G’s (and that’s getting a post later because meeting Mama G was such a humbling experience), and then on to dinner. We got to go to a South African chain restaurant that serves tasty peri-peri chicken and had a play place for the kids and a great view- and wasn’t that expensive. It was very refreshing. At night I had the privilege to attend a photo exhibit/talk at the local American school by the man who gave his testimony at church Sunday. It was a very moving evening, and thankfully Mtoto slept through almost all of it so I really got to watch and listen.
This morning we awoke to torrential rain and cool breezes. I almost feel like I’m back in IL already. Jeff gets here this afternoon, and we are anxiously awaiting his arrival! I expect he will be walking through the door in about five hours...
