Hey bru!!
One of our latest projects is forcing ourselves to say 'bru' (south african equivilent of bro) a lot so that by the time we get home we will say it without thinking and be cool enough to pull it off!!
We have had a fairly exciting few weeks, we went to the rugby to see The Sharks vs The Reds, we went all out with the sharks facepaint and left having a bit more of a clue about the rules of rugby! The sharks won 35-20!!
Friday was a national holiday so we went on a hike, a decision we were regretting when we had to get up at 6! We walked down a gorge and along the river, we spent 20 minutes walking in silence after Nate, Carl and Janelle (friends from church) convinced us we might walk into a baboon! We didn't particularly enjoy the walk back uphill and some of us couldn't walk up or down the stairs the next day!!
One of the funniest moments in the last few weeks was when we were babysitting for Chris and Junior, all was going well until Junior went up for a bath and came down having shaved off some of his hair! We were all speechless as were his parent when we dropped them home!
We have now all spent 2 weeks on each project and will spend the next 2 weeks painting a room in the high school, moving the creche and opening the LI charity shop! On Thursday we spent some time praying for the safe house, the safe house is quite literally a safe house where children can stay who have been taken out of abusive hone situations. We prayed for the children living there and the new house mum, there have been several challenges with the children living there recently.
We had our first trip to the doctors this week, Abi had a huge bite on her foot, resulting in a cankle and not being able to walk! All is fine now! We have also had sickness, colds, headaches, general tiredness and dodgy bowels! Please pray for team health and energy.
We are all slightly worried about the lack of wakaberry (frozen yoghurt) in England, we eat so much of it.....
That's all for now,
Lots of love Catherine and the girls
Prayer requests-
-the lack of LI vehicle, please pray for the funds to become available
-the safe house, children living there and house mum
-team health and energy
Hey Girl Brus!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you again. It's lovely to find out what you're up to, you certainly have full diaries. But more than your activities it'd be good to hear about you. What effect is being in SA having on your view of the UK? What will be your feelings towards God if the vehicle materialises, or if it doesn't? What do you think about the safehouse. What does the fact that it is needed it say about the world, SA and people in general.
Are you really going to let the lack of Wakaberry be the most life changing your time in SA gives you?
Cheers,
Ali (Who's also been bitten by Catherine)
