Day 2 according to Emily

 A wonderful, wonderful full day in Cape Town! Lots of sea, sky, and sun. We got to hear a lot from Arthur, Mabel, and their son about what projects are going on in Cape Town and about Yani's work at the African Hillsong church. Exciting things are happening here and we are SO so blessed to be a part of it.

Emily ate chicken. Shock and Awe. And it was delicious!
Mabel's beautiful jewelry that she and Emily worked on today. More to come!

Day 2 in Cape Town

Hello Friends!
We had a great day of recovery and worship today in Cape Town!  The Trouts let us sleep in to help offset the jet lag.  After waking up they showed us around more of the city, the beach, and the mountains.   Just a beautiful city! 
In the evening Jennings accompained Arthur to do some visitation and prayer with some of his Christian family who have been diagnoised with cancer. It was great to see Arthur in ministry. 
Emily helped Mabel fix some of her jewlery and got ready to share this gift with the community! 
Sofie returns from backpacking tomorrow and the team will be reassembled!

Tomorrow night we will be joining several church youth groups in a youth rally!  We will be speaking and sharing our stories with them!  

Keep praying for us and following us!
