In February we were blessed with the opportunity to share "our" (we are getting rather attached) beautiful South Africa with Luci's sister, Kathy and her husband Kevin for a couple of weeks. We have grown to love the land and the people so very much, so it was hard to decide which few treasures we could share with them while they were here. So we took them on a whirlwind journey...a treasured memory shared by sisters.
While still suffering from jet lag (after their 36 hour flight) we threw them in the back of our cars and drove seven hours to the delightful beach side community of Knysna, to visit and support a fledgling congregation.
Kathy worked with the Young Women's president and the girls quickly wormed their way into her heart.
Then on to Cape Town to sample a taste of the excitng events that take place in the SACTM Mission Home.

After a 24-hour "fire-hose" tour of Cape Town we took a quick flight back to East London for a bit of rest and relaxation at our Gonubie flat.
Sharing friendships with some of the dear people we love...
