Tales of South Africa: 2nd day there first ministry in ceres

Apparently i talked in my sleep last night. Devotions in the morning were so much better because i actually could pay attention. We ate breakfast , then started getting ready for our ministry today. We had a 2 and a half hour drive ahead of us to Ceres.
While were were sitting around waiting for our ride , this guy comes up and asks about david's shirt ( which had been hanging on the clothesline drying because he had to wash it because of the barf) We found out he was gonna be going on a mission trip to portugal , He asked if he could pray for our team , so he did. Then we got to pray for him as well , it was super cool how God used david puking on the plane to be a blessing to somebody! Then not 10 minutes later a lady comes up to us and says hello and how she's noticed us around here and mentioned how we've blessed her! it was just incredible :)
Clive showed up and we were off! we saw a baboon on the side of the road and an ostrich! which was pretty sweet. i had a pretty fun time with my team in the car messing around , but the moment we pulled in i was thinking sweet! this must be where we're staying! we walked in the building and all these african kids were sitting in there saying a verse in Afrikaans together.
yeah we had to go straight into ministry and we had NOT planned very well at all . we found out we had to use a translater and that was definatly a new experience! i stumbled through david and goliath . it was just really hectic it seemed to me.
that evening we visited their youth group and it went waay smoother! we all made one tear crosses and the kids wanted us to sign them , and we had them sign ours! it was super special. they all whipped out their cell phones and started taking pictures of and with us. but we had to leave. it was crazy freezing where we slept!! but we managed to stay alive :)

  1. you copied my background! :P, I love hearing about SA! I can't wait to hear more! I love how David's shirt promted that man to ask you about your ministry and gave you an oportunity to pray for him! That's great, I love how God works sometimes.
    even though I'm super busy I'm still following your blog constantly (or whenever I can get to a computer and remember exactly the URL). Just thought I'd let ya know that, well I've got to finish writing an essay (that according to one person is trash and according to everyone else is amazing *is terribly confused!*) so ttyl, Alana
