A day in the life.


So, this is what I have been doing here in Modjadjiskloof, South Africa.

Wake up around seven o'clock and then walk down to Pfunanane Academy.
Then, from eight to one, Sarah and I tutor and teach in Sarah Haver's ACE classroom.

After school, I help the kids with their homework, which usually takes a good hour.
The remaining part of the afternoon consists of attending to errands, and the kids either swimming or running around, riding bikes and playing soccer.

Also, since we arrived right after the neighbors moved, we have been busy moving into the house, cleaning it, and painting it. Sarah and I spend quite a bit of time working at the house doing any of the previously mentioned activities. For the past four days, we have been vigorously painting.

Then dinner time rolls around. The kids eat here three days out of the week (Mon-Thurs they eat at Ivy's, who works for the school and lives right above the cottage), so we make dinner, and make sure everyone has bathed and is ready for bed.

So there you have it.
Amidst the daily routine, Jesus has been doing extraordinary things at Pfunanane, at the children's village and in the lives of those who minister here.

I praise and thank Him for what He has been allowing me to do, no matter how small of a task it may be.

  1. You need to post another thing on here. Just because nobody comments on them, doesn't mean they don't read them. Quiteee a few people read your blog, I know that. Hope everything is going well.

    P.S. You come home in 4 days!

    Love, Em
