Hey Everyone!
Well, I finished my last day of ministry today until next semester. I can’t believe how fast these past three months have flown by! On Monday my team goes to St. Francis Bay, a bay about 30 minutes from here to do our team debrief. It will be a great time of reflection and relaxation for the last time with my whole team. As when we come back in January we will be split up into our three different locations- here, Port Elizabeth, and Swaziland. Then on Friday I will be flying home for two weeks! I am so excited to see everyone, but yet my heart is defintely still here. I will be so excited to come back here in January.
Please contiune to pray for Lusanda and Aya. They are constantly on my heart and in my thoughts as I think about the way she is treated daily by her husband and the sickness she lives with. Yesterday we spent the day with her and Aya at their house, washing laundry and just hanging out. We played a game called “hot seat”, for 3 minutes we could ask her any question we thought of and then someone else would take the seat. We asked her what her biggest fear was and she said- ” my fear is that I would die any day and not be able to see Aya grow up and become a man.” I sat in silence not knowing how to respond, she then asked me if I could take Aya home with me for a year or two so he could learn English and live a good life. I told her I would take him home in heartbeat, but that it wasn’t that easy. I tell you all this, so you can just catch a glimpse at what people’s lives are like here. They need our prayers! Also, if any of you would like to donate kids clothes or supplies for ministry at Ithemba just let me know!
