Soul Touch

A Scottish tornado hit Pretoria

Wow, we had a wonderful time meeting Hildegard and Rudi and had a great time together, just a pity the visit was so short and every meeting a rush. After chatting on the phone and a lengthy arrangements, the four of us finally met on Saturday. We went for drinks at a local mall, discussed various issues on the church, youth, etc, we watched a few of their wonderful films and ended up having supper before heading back to our “host” family, Tom and Naomi Williamson.

Rudi offered to take us to his work office so we could check our e-mails (which seemed to be a luxury on the tour so far), so we got picked up very early Sunday morning. Although we had almost an hour, we were still going at it when we got torn from our computers to rush off to chuch for the 10:00 service. At least we managed to send some important e-mails and write our pics to cd to clear the camera memory sticks. We managed to say a few words to the congregation (although we were a bit late and had to “interrupt” the service!) and also get some footage of St Andrews church in Pretoria.

As soon as the minister said “Amen” we dashed off again, this time to Thambo airport in Johannesburg. Again a major rush (Lorna was very quiet, I assume she was a bit worried about missing the plane and Rudi driving too fast!) but all ended well and we got to the airport safely and in time. We said our sad farewell to friends who we barely knew, but somehow really felt connected to. A pity the time was so short…

We have arrived!

Dear all, we arrived safe and sound in Mozambique and are having an amazing, amazing time! God has been so good to us and honestly if we told you of all the miracles thus far you seriously would think we were deranged (even more so than we already are!)

On the flight to Johan we sat next to a woman called Naomi and she invited us to stay in her home for the three days we are in Johan. Obviously we were delighted as we were nervous about where we would stay these three days ( after the Mozambique team leave and before our flight to Uganda). Not only that she actually lives in Pretoria. The place we didn’t think we would have time to visit and the one WWW contact that we thought we wouldn’t have time to see. Anyway she said she will take us to the church and also to visit her school which could be amazing! Please pray for this as we really feel it is a miracle.

We should arrive in Pretoria the middle of July and our flight to Uganda is a few days later.

This is Africa and we have learned already that time is not a common concept here so we will be flexible. Miss you and love you all E and L x
