For our cultural excursion this past week we had the chance to go see a soccer match in a nearby township called Soweto. It was a championship game between two South African teams. We were cheering for the Orlando Pirates and the whole stadium rushed the field when they won the game! After the game, people were dancing and cheering in the streets.
Right before the game, we had our first taste of fat cakes. The owner of our guest house made a huge pan them for us before we headed out for Soweto, and we thought they were so yummy! Kind of like a funnel cake without sugar, or a form of a donut that isn’t very sweet. We liked it best with jam. Here’s Blaine eating one in our kombi.
Here are all the girls that came to the Bible Study in Amper Daar this week (it’s pretty easy to pick the girls from our team, Lindsay and Lauren). Tebogo, a student leader, shared the bridge diagram and then we split up in smaller groups to talk through it. The two girls in my group acknowledged that they were not on the side of the bridge with God, but they seemed confused about what it would take to get to that side. Most of these girls think they have to clean up their lives in order to get to God.
We ate dinner one night in the SS (their student center) after Skoonveld had their Bible Study. We visit the B-Spot most commonly because it stays open later than other places at night. You can find burgers and chips (french fries) at this place. One of these girls had just gotten her first Bible from Lawton and Emily and was telling me how she was excited to learn more.
Cheers from South Africa!
