It's been a whirlwind of activity here -- preparing for our outreach across southern Africa to Mozambique, the building project on our new housing continues, and the farm and winery has a big event this weekend, after finishing the 3rd Father's House Discipleship school a month ago! I've spent some time doing the building work on the house. I've spent some time doing wrap-up work after the school. I've spent some time catching up on super-hero movies (like Avengers 2). I've been getting some extra sleep. I've helped the family on our team by watching there children while they had their 4th child. And I've spent time connecting with the family as well as other people I've met in town over the last couple of months. I've been pondering the difference between unwinding and resting. And sometimes you need to unwind before you rest!
The event this weekend, a wine tasting event for all the wineries in the area, has turned into an opportunity to share about God's work in our lives as the visitors wonder, Why are people from Canada, the US, and Germany here helping with wine tasting and working in the coffee shop?? Many people have enjoyed conversation with the unexpected mix of foreigners in South Africa, helping at a small farm and winery shop outside of Robertson, South Africa.
I'm mostly packed for Mozambique. Everyone going on the trip has gathered. Most of the food for the travel has been purchased. The adventure will begin on Monday! :D
