going very well over here! We got back from vacation in Cape Town
earlier this week, and it was amazing! On December 2nd my mom and her
mom (my Nana) flew into Johannesburg where we spent a couple of days.
Then we headed to Cape Town with the rest of the family. The drive was
a bit of a beating, but we were able to stop and see a couple of cool
things along the way, like an elephant park and Cape Agulhas, the most
southern tip of the continent of Africa where the Indian and Atlantic
oceans meet. On clear days you can supposedly see a line between the
oceans, but it was too windy while we were there to make out anything
but waves. Cape Town was great, we all got to relax and go to the
beach and spend time with Bethany Anderson, another missionary from
FBC McKinney. One of the friends she had made happened to be a surf
instructor so one day we went to the beach and got free lessons! Let
me tell you… surfing is much harder than it looks.
Being back in Heidelberg has been nice, too. Right now almost everyone
that works with J-Life is leaving for holiday so I've just been
getting ready for next year. Training starts January 10 and lasts 4
months. After that I'll be sent with a team to a church somewhere in
South Africa for the rest of the year.
These past 5 months have really flown by. I'm looking forward to
getting involved next year but I'm sure that time will fly by as well
and I'll be back in the states before I know it. I just pray that the
Lord is able to use me over the next year to impact this great country
in whatever ways possible. Thank you all for the prayers and support
you've given me, it is greatly appreciated… I wouldn't be able to do
any of this without you.
I hope you all have a very merry Christmas!
In Christ,
Andrew Even
