Great Week




What a great week last week. It was really good. I went to Johannesburg with my womens bible study. We had a lot of fun hanging out and goofing off but the best part and purpose of our trip was that we were able to hear Beth Moore speak. WOW!! She is so aweome. We are doing one of her bible studies right now and I am learning so much. It was really neat actually getting to hear her speak in person. And!!! We were able to go backstage and take meet her and take pictures with her. I felt like a little girl I was so excited. Thank you God for that awesome experience. And if that wasn't enough, Charles and I took a couple that has been here for a few weeks serving with us, to Kruger National Park. It was so amazing. We saw so many animals. Considering the park is 4.4 million acres, I felt very blessed to see as many as we saw. We even got to see a lion. We went on a sunset drive and it had already gotten dark. There he was, just strolling down the middle of the road. Our guide had told us to turn off our lights because they don't like them in their faces. Well this other tour truck must have missed this information because they were shining their lights right on his face. So, unfortunately my only picture of him is when he turned to go back into the brush. At least it is something :) Since I have a lot of pictures from the safari, I am working on putting up a parazz picture album so hopefully it will be up within a few days.
