Durban, South Africa!

We landed in Durban last night, dropped our bags, and shuffled off to Durban's midweek service. What a great group! We sang songs in Xulu and english. I taught a lesson, and then we witnessed a baptism! It is so encouraging meeting disciples and seeing conversions all over the world.

The place we are staying is almost tropical. Tons a beautiful green plant life. Little creatures, including a gecko on the window last night (which freaked Beth out).

Duncan, the lead evangelist here, and I went for a early morning workout. We then went to the Indian Ocean and walked around and talked about the church here and the churches in Zimbabwe. I bought a really cool bracelet made from the tail hair of an elephant. I love it!

I know that it is Thanksgiving in America. We are sitting by a pool right now in 85 degree weather. I will miss the turkey and cranberry sauce but I am certainly not struggling. I believe we are eating curry tonight. Sweet.

This evening all of the parents are coming from the church and we are teaching a devotional for them. Tomorrow morning we leave for Johannesburg. Tomorrow night we leave for Chicago.

What an amazing couple of weeks.

I am looking forward to sharing photos, video, and stories of the disciples across Texas and South Africa.

Please pray for our journey home. The flight from Johannesburg to Atlanta is 16 straight hours. It is a tad bit long.

As they say in South Africa,

Cheers!
