Feb. 14. 2007…Happy Valentines Day!

Today was a rather long day…Rach and I set out to go and visit Jabylani and Constance in Shoshanguve. It is a township about 45 min. away from where we stay. There are a lot of open fields, unfortunately we did not spy any wild animals or anything. Shucks, isn’t Africa just made up of Zebra’s, Elephants, Crocs, etc. roaming around? We met with Jabylani for a bit at his church site and discussed possibly building the church/orphan home there, unfortunately Constance is very sick and was unable to meet with us as well. I am not sure it will be big enough so we went to another site which is like 100x larger, but totally in the middle of nowhere. So I was concerned about the children getting to school ok. Knowing Jabylani any concern I bring up he has a solution for. So we met some children in the area and had them show us where their school was…that wasn’t good enough for Jabylani so we went ahead and met with the Vice Principal of the primary school. I was reassured that it was a good school system and a free one at that! That is really good because for the most part almost all schools no matter private or public has some fees. Then after that we went and visited an Aids Hospice…I am not sure we were totally prepared to see people dying, but we prayed with them and they told us they love the States. When I asked them how they knew about the States they told me from the show, The Young and the Restless. Cracked me up.
