I'm alive!

Hello from Cape Town! Well, actually just outside Cape Town; I live in a little spot of no-man's land between Fishoek and Nordhoek. After two loooong flights and a day trip around Frankfurt in the middle I arrived at the Africa House around noon yesterday. A lot of us have arrived already and are just milling about town waiting for the rest of the arrivals and our big kick-off dinner tonight. We are housed in three different places, and I am excited to be living in the big house where leactures and meetings are held. There is plenty of space around the grounds to get alone; we even have a pool! I am sharing a room with six other women, which is fine. We have to walk outside to get to the two toilet/one shower bathroom which will be fun once the cold winter hits :) I am feeling so glad to be here and extremely blessed. God is such an extravagant giver - I got to go for a run on the beach this morning since one of the women I live with has a car and took me with her! More later...time is up at the internet cafe for now.

    Elizabeth glad you made it safe and sound. What are the beaches like? Sounds like you are having a good time already! How cold are the winters there?

    Hey, sounds like you made it safely, glad to hear it, i hope you are experiencing God's amazing power there, I am so excited to get to my outreach and see what amazing things the Lord will do for our team. But for now, training in Maui isn't that bad I guess. We just flew to another island last week to see a speaker, it was super good, you should check out some of his stuff, he has a good podcast i think, but i guess you rely on internet cafes now so that would be stupid, scratch that thought i guess. Well let me know how things are going there!! lots of love.
