We set foot in
Africa exactly one month ago today on
June 27th. The journey that lay in front of us was exciting, daunting, exhilarating, overwhelming....all at once.
In the last 30 days we have settled into this new opportunity and place. We are literally
Awakening (every day)
to the Amazing uniqueness that is.....
Africa.
Below are a few of the things we
"Appreciate About Africa!"
 |
| Sunrises and Sunsets |
 |
| Vistas from "God's Window" |
 |
| Drackenberg Mountain Range |
 |
| Animals in Nature |
 |
| Fires |
|
|
It is common to see fires burning everywhere. It is the
renewal process and burnt fields will be followed by new growth when the
summer rainy season comes.
But, by far, the most
Amazing part of our last month has been the opportunity to meet and
serve with
200 missionaries.
Africa is just a wonderful place to be able to do this with them. This
amazing land of contrast is one we all feel lucky to
serve in.
