My team and I had our first church service in Africa on Sunday. Sunday is our rest day for the week, so there were two options. We could go to the service in the morning in a different town and also go to the service in Oceanview in the evening, or only go to the service in Oceanview.

We have arrived safe and sound in Oceanview, South Africa! after three airports and four flights we arrived yesterday afternoon local time. We went to bed early and slept for about 13 hours! We had the opportunity to walk around our town and get some history this morning. We will only have access to wifi about one or two times a week, so if you don’t hear from us please don’t worry. We will be out in our community playing soccer with the kids, going to churches, and visiting our neighbors. We are excited for the next three months and what the Lord has in store for us here!! Please...
