Here’s an
update from the mission field!
South Africa this month, getting a bit of time back in the civilized
world. We’re still not really sure what
we’ll be doing in terms of ministry, but Cathy and I are hoping to get an
opportunity to take a trip to Victoria Falls and also visit some of the neat
sites in and around Nelspruit. For us,
it’s a time to feel like a couple again…like it’s just the two of us, at
least for a month! We love being with
other racers, but sometimes it is nice to have the freedom to do whatever we
want.
There is
a married couple, Scott and Becky, who live just across the street who are
already taking good care of us. They’ve
promised to take us to some of the sites and it’s nice to spend time with a
couple that’s been married for a while.
Sometimes it’s tough not having a marital influence while on the
race. We got to go to the Botanical
Gardens the other day with them, to chat and learn more about where they come
from.
July is a
very special month for me, though – it’s the month of my birthday and also my
anniversary! It’s nice to be in a place
where we can go out to celebrate! I am
curious to see what God is going to do this month. God has put Cathy and I in a place where the
main focus can be us, which is something we have not had since we’ve been on this
trip. My biggest fear is that we end up
keeping ourselves busy and lose focus on what’s important. Please pray that God’s Will will be done!
