South Africa has arrived safely!

South Africa has arrived safely!

After a long few days of travel from Orlando to JFK to Amsterdam then on to Johannesburg, we have arrived safely at the base in South Africa with all our bags, PTL! What a nice location we have for our time here. It is pretty cold in the morning and at night, but it warms up during the day and we shed our jackets and sweaters. We also have the South Africa II team on the property as they could not continue down to their location. Parts of South Africa are under lockdown for a few weeks, so we are staying here at the base and enjoying the fellowship with the staff and students here. We settled in yesterday, got caught up on laundry and got supplies so we can start our work project tomorrow which will include painting all the buildings here to freshen things up. Tin roofs will be replaced and we will work on our presentation so we can be ready to share after the lockdown is over. We had some time to meet our missionaries, Robert and Dorah, as well as the staff and students. There are students from India, Zambia, Burundi, and different parts of South Africa here attending the Bible, Missionary & Work Training Center. Our Boot Camp training is certainly coming into play. We are filtering water, putting TP in buckets, conserving water, and doing laundry by hand. The showers are ice cold so we are quick!

We planned to send this earlier, however, the electricity went out and may be off for days as someone stole wires at the power plant. It is still off, but Robert was able to run a generator for a few minutes so we could send the report! We cooked breakfast by flashlight and waited for the sun to come up to do our devotions. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow! We appreciate your prayers as we get into a routine here and try to get done as much as we can in a short time.
We are packing up to head home tomorrow!
Greetings from the South Africa team.
