Today was our second incredible day at Hope School. We are each getting to know the children better. What amazes us is that many of them come from unimagenable home situations and yet they are so joyful and filled with hope. Their joy is simply contagious. That was our first blessing today. Our second was through a ministry that reaches out to -- in their own words -- 'street workers'. Most of us admitted we were nervous and at a loss for words yet what an inspiration these dear ladies were to us. Again, even in dire circumstances they were full of joy. Most of them openly admitted that they know what they are doing is wrong and they are not happy with their lives and are truly looking to God to open a new path for them. There were 15 of these awesome women and we ask for you to pray for them and this ministry to them.
Honestly, we traveled to South Africa to bless others - instead we are the ones being blessed!
We are eating way too much because of the delicious cooking of Marie, Dawn, Ethne. Tomorrow after our time at HOPE, we go on safari. To say the least, we are all psyched that at long last we will have the opportunity to see the wildlife of South Africa - maybe even a giraffe! Thanks for your love and don't forget to pray for us! Hugs and Kisses ....
Liz and Paula
