Okay, so I have been having so much fun learning new languages here...okay, so maybe learning new words in different languages....I have learned a little Zulu, Sutu, Afrikaans, Malawian??, and yes the clicks!!!
On Sunday we went to the church of the place we are staying...it is an Africaans church, so a lot of familiar songs. The pastor was hilarious, an older man who went off on tangents and stories, it was great!! If I would have known my grandpa on my mother's side, I imagined that is how he would've preached, or maybe his mannerisms....anyway, church was awesome and it was great meeting new people!
Today we had a wonderful day! We went into a formal settlement called Soweto where half of us will be for a week. We are in charge of running the kids program. Today we had roughly 40 kids from 3-years-old to 21-years-old. I had the chance to speak and we watched You Are Special...they were so excited that we were watching a movie, it was a great time. We played lots of games and i am tired...Futbol, African version of tag hide-and-seek...we sang songs and danced...a fun day. The rest of this week we will be visiting homes in the settlement and praying very the sick and then working with the kids in the afternoon. On Sunday we will visit a black church and then on Monday we head toward Nelspruit for a week, then Swaziland....a busy time....
God has been so amazing to our team and I am thankful that he has brought us together to serve others....anyway..there is the quick update..love and miss you all!!!
blessings,
kristin
