God has been so near to me during this week!! We have been non stop busy with experiences galore. We have had many opportunities to share the gospel with locals and just be totally immersed in Africa and it has been totally awesome!! I am not allowed to share specific details of what we did but I can give a vague description!!
Monday we arrived in Johannesburg and got ready for the week of our life. We arrived in Gaberone, Botswana on Tuesday morning and hit the ground running. We ended up arriving in Lobatse, Botswana by bus...all by ourself!! It was crazy!! Here we are sitting on a bus with a bunch of Africans and we don't know the language at all and we have no idea what we are doing! Through all those experiences we learned to rely on God and trust God in it all!!
This past weekend we stayed with an African family and it was great! We learned what it was like to be a family living in hard times in African and it was definitely a humbling experience for sure!! We ate some african food and went to the local Baptist Church!! :)
One thing that really sticks in my mind is when we were at a bus stop one day...our mission was just to share the gospel. I noticed this older woman sitting by herself with a bundle of blankets beside her. As I approached her I noticed that the bundle was a tiny baby. It was really windy and cold that day so that's why she was bundled up. I sat next to her and began to talking to her and of course asked if I could hold the baby. :) So as I held that sweet two month old baby I prayed over her that her life would be impacted by the gospel and that someone would tell her who Jesus was!! I began talking to her some more and ended up by sharing the gospel with her and praying with her an over her. It was such an awesome time and I will never forget it!!
Please continue to pray for me and my partner and the rest of the teams spreading out in Africa!! Our Plane leaves at 7 am my time in the morning!! :)
I will leave ya'll with some pics!! :)
Praying for you Dani!
