Last month we were in Mokhotlong, Lesotho.
It was absolute BEAUTIFUL! Check out the view from our ministry house.
We worked with Harvesters Ministry.
We were with another team and we stayed in a ministry house together. They prepared all of our meals and we spent our days doing various things.
In the mornings three people would go to the hospital and do a devotional with the workers and residents. Afterwards we would stay a little later to pray with anyone that needed healing or wanted to talk.
After that we split up into three groups and went different directions.
There was a far away soup kitchen an hour away in a small village. We would give the word, pray for people, and serve food.
There was a close soup kitchen. We would spend the first few hours hanging out with kiddos and helping the ladies cook. Then we would take the food to the hospital and serve there.
There was also an ATL group. We would do things like evangelize, pick up trash, write encouraging notes for the staff, serve the local missionaries at their home, and anything else that the Lord prompted us to do.
Every Wednesday we did Prison Ministry. The whole group would go and we would share our testimonies and the word.
We did manual labor at the boarding school. We relocated the playground, built a parking lot, and put up a fence.
We served at the boarding school where we would play games and do teachings with the kids.
In the evenings a group would go tend to the garden that belonged to Harvesters Boarding School. We would water and pull weeds.
On Sundays we would split up and go to church plants in the neighboring villages. We would share testimonies and give the sermon. We rotated churches during our time there.
Off days!
We went to Sani Pass which is a mountain pass right on the boarder of Lesotho and South Africa. We ate lunch at the highest pub in Africa and explored.
There was a beautiful American family that lived down the road from our ministry house that we got to love on while we were there. They cooked us wonderful meals and let us spend time with their kids. (They also had a black lab that I fell in love with.)
We spent some of our nights by the fire cooking s’mores and looking at the night sky.
Our last Sunday we had a celebration after church and said some pretty hard goodbyes.
(Our ministry host’s wife made us these awesome shirts!)
I loved every second of my time in Lesotho!
I am now in Port Elizabeth, South Africa at Love Story and I get to see my parents in 4 days!
Much love!
