What an awesome 2 weeks!! We left for Coffee Bay the 12th of Jan and slept over in PE at Stoffel's cousin, who blessed us so much!! When we arrived at his house we were given an amazing hot meal, we watched a movie on the biggest screen I've ever seen, and then slept on real mattresses with plushy comforters!!:) We got up bright and early the next morning to meet up with the rest of the team and "blikskud" to get to the Transkei and God blessed us so much!!! In the few hours we were standing there we...

It's almost been a week, and we're loving Tunisia!!! Some things that have been happening. . . .  .

             

In the beginning of our journey we were introduced to Arabian hamems- big public baths where you get steamed and scrubbed. And arriving in the scorching 41 degrees heat- 10 o'clock at night, we thought we were very spiritual and prayed for a 'month in the ''hammem' so God could clean us vigorously from the things that make us dirty. . .eish- that's exactly what He did!!!

God in everything, God in all. . .

We've been in Senegal for the last 2weeks and what a blessing and what a time of learning it has been!

 

We started building on Saturday- and to our surprise, were able to put the walls up in just 2 days!!

 

Wow, what a fun and exciting time we had! This was probably the most rural and cultural EA has ever been… We drove for hours through land where there’s nothing, and then finally, you could see little red dots moving amongst goats or sheep every now and then… this was it, we’d finally reached Masaailand.

 

EA illegally in Mali. . .  ;))Whoohoo

 

There’s something about standing next to a beautiful Masaai, with his stretched earlobes, listening to his deep voice, worshiping our great God... this is real, this is so authentic, to hear these people’s cry to God for their families, their villages, their land.

I can't believe that it's only been 3 weeks!! There has been so much going on, and God has been moving in such an awesome way! We started out 3 weeks back at the caravan camp site and got to know each other better as a group, then we moved to the ucsa camp site and did lots of hard labour, which came in handy the next week when we went to the bush for survivor. We've made gardens, helped at a school, worked in the community and so many things! All I can say is watch this space. ....
