Our First Full Day
After a very long day and night of having traveled it was nice to sleep horizontally in a bed, as opposed to in the airplane!!
Today was our first full day of ministry, we woke up early and headed to Dnaya which is school here, we were able to minster to the children through song, stories, and laughter. The principal of the school was telling us that when the school runs out of water they have to send the children down 2 km to get water. So we're purchasing a water tank for the school which will hold water for 2 weeks before needing to be refilled. We also went to Umzinto Primary which is another local school. We picked up sporting equipment to give to their program. We are all settled in and almost over our jet lag. We just finished a delicious home made Indian meal and now were off to worship with a youth group. We will poST again soon! Luke misses his sister.

Hey Team!
So excited to see you hit the ground, running - what an encouragement to learn how you're already being the hands and feet of Christ. May you be changed and made different by the experiences you have..
Emily - I'm looking forward to hearing all about your "quest". Take time to reflect on the magnitude of our God.. hoping all that you experience would only spur you to press further into who He is. Love you, girly.

Julie, we are so proud of you! We thank God for your life and for the gifts he has given you. We pray that God would bless you on this missionary trip. See all you can, do all you can, take every opportunity to learn about this culture and the spiritual needs of this country you are visiting. May the experiences you are having there make such an impression upon your life so as to enable you to serve the Lord even better and to share God's love with those who are in need. Kisses, kisses, and kisses from grandpa and grandma.
