Coming home!

Coming home!

This morning we whipped to the airport to drop off my rental, then Aunty Sybil and I had our last breakfast together.  She is an amazing woman of faith.  She is a pastor's wife, the adoptive mother of one daughter, takes care of her grand daughter and she and Peter are trying to start a new soup kitchen type ministry where they provide ingredients for meals to a couple families in the community and they are expected to make the soup and share it with the community members.  They actually do surprise visits to the families to make sure they are making the soups and giving it away.  They have spunk!

Peter pastors a church in a poor colored township.  He has been preaching in a shack for 13 years and just recently they have the walls and roof up of their new building.  It really puts our capital campaigns to shame.  

I am writing this from Durban, so we have 3 more legs to go, but as we are sitting here, Stu just noticed we may be delayed.  There is some bad weather here, and earlier there were people saying that all flights in J-Berg were delayed so we'll hope and pray for the best.  Our luggage has been checked all the way to Calgary this time, so our 2hour window in J-Berg has a little wiggle room.

Things to remember:
You're welcome = pleasure
That's too bad= shame
Runners = tekkies ( say tackies)
The 'Gecko' song

My luggage was too heavy, so I am lugging around two heavy carry-ons, and feeling frumpled, but I am on my way home!

See you soon!
