We woke up this morning looking out to Table Mountain (see video on this post). It was beautiful… We are staying with Stephen & Robin Murray, a couple that we met through church. They are very kind and hospitable. We will be staying with them for a week before joining up with All Nations in another part of Cape Town.
Ice Storms and Sunshine
Probably the most shocking thing so far is the weather. We went from ice storms in the middle of winter to sunshine in the heart of summer, all within the same 3 day period.
A Few Inches to the Left
Apparently Cape Town is very european, rather than being radically different, it feels more like everything is moved a few inches to the left. I imagine the differences will become more dramatic as we begin our work with All Nations in the local townships, though we are grateful for a gradual introduction into a new culture.
Its the first time we have been anywhere that they drive on the other side of the road. It got especially interesting when we came to an intersection.
Deep Gratitude and Steady Anticipation
It feels like we are dreaming. Nichole and I have talked about about it for the last year and its been 10 years since I felt God calling me here. Deep gratitude and a steady anticipation is filling our hearts. We know God has brought us here and we are thrilled to see what he has in store…
Africa…
