Now we need a definition on some of these... It's encouraging to watch as you guys adjust. So excited for the church there to have you, and excited for you and your girls and how it will change your lives. Amen God!
ReplyDeleteHi, Dave. I always read your posts and all this will be an education for me, too. I do agree with the other post that you are going to have to explain what alot of the things you mentioned are! The changes must be incredible-I cannot imagine. Hope the girls are enjoying their new surroundings and hope Beth is getting along okay being gluten-free-it must be difficult-but maybe their products aren't as contaminated with gluten either. Enjoy and be careful
ReplyDeleteSally Miller, Sue's friend!!!
Thanks for the definitions! I was trying to read them to Brian and we had no clue what half of them were! I love reading your blogs and being able to have a glimpse in to this great journey you are on! I love you guys!
ReplyDeleteYou know your turning into a real african american when you have oxtail as one of your favorite meals now. Lol! It's so encouraging to read about what your learning and just the cultural differences. This is so exciting and such a call higher for many of us on U.S territory in so many ways. We are on a mission field no matter where we are at. Thank you for not just talking the talk-but actually walking the walk Super Dave. Much love. dc.
ReplyDeleteYour making me hungry. Enjoy the food it is always amazing and ask someone where you can find the original braai boek so that you can make it all when you come back to visit.
