Transition from timbutini to nsoko We have finally settled in into our new home in Nsoko. It’s been an interesting past week and I can see that God will do amazing things while we are here. Our ministry here is almost the same as it was in Tbutini. We are going to carepoints and house visits. I am also getting the opportunity to help teach in a preschool on site and it’s been a good experience. The kids can be wild, but I still love them. It is also really hot here in Nsoko. It has reached at least 109 degrees farenheit. We are sweating constantly but God is definitely working...

  Do you know what it feels like to be called by God to something? I do. Often it starts out as a feeling or an idea that grows and I pray about or God presses on my heart until it become obvious that this is what God is saying. Sometimes. Sometimes, it doesn’t take that much work or thought and its just right there ‘This is what I am calling you too’.  Like, I wanted to come to Africa for several years. But it wasn’t until now that things started to fall into place and I started to ask God what His plan was that I am here. Now, I feel that God called me here.  ...

Nsoko is BEAUTIFUL.   I was walking down a straight dirt road and was drawn to the beauty here, in Nsoko.  The road I was walking on is made of deep dark soil, the land felt empty- only a couple small straw huts were in sight, few lifeless trees, the land looked dry, everything seemed silent and empty.  Yet within the emptiness, there are so many children, many voices here that declare strength; beauty within these voices.  We walked past a railroad track (reminded me of home).  We walked past a mud pond.  While passing this mud pond, I thought people...

I love those moments when God chooses to reveal Himself to us, those moments when God is so evident in our lives. I love when I can look at an experience and say “That was so God.”  We often have worship as a team. Something that we have been learning and living is that worship doesn’t have one set formula. It can look different for everyone. The other night, we sat outside and marveled at the night sky that God created. Then, we started talking about experiences that we’ve had where the only explanation is God. I’m going to share a couple of mine in this blog...

Blog November 11th. This past week in Nsoko has been a very long one. Mid De-brief was so relaxing and very much needed. We got to take real showers for the first time in 2 months! Showers that were inside! And did not require a bucket and a little cup. For the first time in two months, we were actually clean! And it felt amazing! It was a really nice break to get to spend a few days in South Africa. Now we are in Nsoko and are doing well adjusting to it. It is a lot hotter here than it is in Timbutini, but it’s just as beautiful ☺ My favorite thing to do here so far is help...
