| Making new friends at the Lion Park- I've got my smile on but there's no doubt I was nervous- and for good reason haha |
I'll be flying back to the US this coming Monday. I am excited to see you all soon! It has been an incredible time, full of a variety of adventures and many new and deepening friendships. God has provided more than I could ask or imagine.
Here are just a few snapshots of what I've been up to the last few weeks:
Arno and I designed a Balloon Treasure Hunt for the kids of the family that I have been staying with. It took them on a journey all over their property finding clue and completing tasks to find their next clue.

The Grand Prize for the completion of the Crazy Africa Balloon Hunt was a ... Hot Air Balloon Ride! Very Fun!

| We saw the SA night lights from a world above |
Later that week the kids designed a special
South African History Hunt
in Afrikaans (their native language that I've been learning), taking me
from the time of the Bushmen to the days of Foet Trakers (early
settlers) up to modern day. Below we had to cross the "ocean" they way
Dias and the early explores did. After the journey we made tradition SA
"stick bread" that the early settlers would have eaten and a tradition
meal! Such a beautiful time with an incredible family!

American Day comes to SA:
A day full of US History, food: pancakes for breakfast, then cheeseburgers, fries, and a flag cake for a hearty dinner.

Farming God's Way:
We thoroughly enjoyed a day at Vasfontein Ministries getting dirt under our nails and learning much about planting and harvesting according to God's word. I'm excited to start putting it into practice. Here's the website if you want to find out more: http://www.foundationsforfarming.org/resources/.

Monday I'll be hopping on the big bird and flying back to you all! Excited to see you soon!
Shalom and Love from South Africa.
