another thanksgiving week highlight...

I almost forgot to mention another meaningful highlight of last week. Thanksgiving evening we visited a church that sits atop a hill in the town. The views from the top of the hill are beautiful. You can see the coastline in both directions. We shared communion together and reflected on our ultimate thanksgiving for Christ’s broken body and shed blood for us the cross. After taking communion, the peeps here prayed for me and my time in South Africa. Rio is almost parallel to Cape Town across the ocean, so it was extra cool looking out and realizing we are “just an ocean apart.” Whatever God has in store in Cape Town, South Africa, or wherever, the fleshies (WMF staff) here will have played a valuable part in God’s shaping and leading. I am very grateful. The prayer of commissioning was special and meaningful. The time together on the hill was toped off with a beautiful sunset over the ocean! What a gift!
