God is doing amazing things here in South Africa. The team has been very busy, but loving every minute, meeting amazing people, and eating wonderful food. We have so much to share, but little time. We are currently at Shaun and Deshni's family's house for dinner and enjoying the wonderful fellowship and food. Earlier today we went to a game park and saw so many animals, then went to the beach to swim in the Indian ocean.
Just a quick word about our weekend. We were able to be a part of a missions training and outreach experience with a local Indian church. The team shared testimonies, taught on youth ministry and missions, then went out doing door to door evangelism in a remote area amongst Zulu people. It was great to experience God working in so many ways.
On Sunday morning we were blessed to be able to worship with our Zulu brothers and sisters out in a remote area in a tent. Then in the evening we were in Westville, a suburb of Durban worshipping in a large church. It was a great day.
Internet is sparse here, and I am writing this from an iPhone. We hope to be able to update more soon.

Meisha,
I hope your enjoying your time and making an impact in the short time that you are there. It feels like it was yesterday that I was in Quest. Take in everything, even the littlest thing. It's what you'll remember down the road. Be in the present moment, don't worry bout home or how you miss your home cooking, lol. It's an experience of a lifetime! Love you!

Hi Dan
It's really nice to be able to stay in touch when you are so far away. Can't way to hear directly from you about your trip and experience. How was the body surfing in the Indian Ocean? I'm busy at work but it is a little lonely here. Miss you and Mom. Mom posted a note to you but she accidentally posted it to the City's blog. Aunt Nadine is with her in Florida. Enjoy the rest of your journey and let God's light shine through you.
Love Ya
Dad
Hey SA team! It's so encouraging to hear that God is using you guys to do great things! Make sure to spend time alone with God daily and to be aware of your witness. Let them see Jesus in everything you so and say to each other on the team and to people. God is GREAT! He is BIG! He wants to move! and He wants to use you to do it! That's awesome! Stick together guys ;)

Hola Teresita & Team! So, it's Tues 520pm your time. I'll bet time seems to be slipping by very quickly now. But behold all that He is doing through you all! Stay amazed!! The Message: "Get the word out. Teach all these things... Immerse yourself in them. The people will all see you mature right before their eyes! Keep a firm grasp on both your character AND your teaching." 1 Tim 4:11,& 15-16. Godspeed. Stay safe & focused. Love, Lourdes :)
