Hello from South Africa!
Wow, south Africa is definitely not what I was picturing it to be like. The weather is quite cold in the morning, but in the afternoon it warms up. At the current moment it is breakfast time and I am sitting with a large jacket on and a warm Benni, trying to type this.
Yesterday was a great day of ministry. In the morning, about 10:30, we arrived at the park/Field we had been working on for the last couple days. The day before we had set the goals (6" PVC pipe) in cement. So when we showed up, they were nice and dry. The last thing we had to do, was to fill the pipes with concrete. Now picture this, about 5 guys and 2 girls tyring to pour wet cement from a 5 gallon bucket into a 6" inch pipe that was sticking in the ground 10 feet into the air.... Can you picture that? (I really wish I could attach a picture, it was quite entertaining. Ha ha) Well after the first couple tries we found we were counting the outside of the pipe more the filling the inside. We had to find an easier way to do this, we had 4 more pipes to fill! Taking one of the buckets, we cut a hole in the bottom and placed it over the pipe. It kinda worked as a funnel which made it much easier to fill the pipes. After finishing filling it was great to play a game of soccer with the kids and see them enjoying their new soccer field.
I am part of the outreach/worship team, and I just want to say that we have had the privilege of doing some great events. Last Saturday we did a concert for a youth group at a church. Sunday, Brandon and I were invited to join their churches worship team on the bongos an percussion. Then every day this week we have been playing songs for the kids at VBS. The YWAM base asked us if we would lead worship for their community night, so last night we did that. Then tonight we will being doing some more worship for the youth group of the church I was talking about for the 4th of July party that they are doing for us. And we will also be leading worship this Sunday at the church. Wow, I just kinda scared myself.... we've still got alot ahead of us!
Alright, I have to go. I have been on this computer too long already. I hope every one is doing well!!! See you soon!
-Tim
