Hellloo,
So Swakopmend was a really great time, we wern't rushed or anything and had alot of free time. We stayed with this amazing lovely missionary family with their 5 kids. It was really nice, and we learned ALOT from them!! Something we weren't excpeting, but it was so very nice. The hostel was a very scary place....very run-down and like, scary....water dripping from the roof and stuff. The kids were coming on monday, so we had the weekend to do as much as we could. We painted and cleaned and things. But there were some rooms, specifically down in the basement, where there was such a spirit of oppression and just a heavyness. You just walk into the room and its almos tangible...very weird and not happy feeling. We also did alot of praying in that place.
Another highlight from Swakopmend was the dunes!! We went sandboarding and we climbed all the way up Dune 7....the highest around or something like that...it was really quite a challenge, i loved it so much. Sandboarding was just like sledding, just on sand, so it wasn't allll thaaat exciting...i rather would have went REAL sandboarding..like snowbaording where you stand up. BUt it costed alot of money. It was just soo beautiful though...the dunes are amazing, im sorry i can't put up pictures again, i am trying.
On our way back to South Africa we were driving in the dark almost at the Border and this HUGE Kudu jumped infrot of us, and just stood there. These things are like the equivelent to a moose in Canada...huge and dangerous to hit. So anyways, it was RIGHT infront of us, Natasha put on the breaks as much as she could, but there was nothing we could do, we were going to hit it, it was nuts!!! Natahsa just threw her hands off the weel and screamed bloody murder "JESUS HELP US!!!" and the next thing we know the kudu is jumping off the road to the side and the tip of its huge long hornd brushed the side of the vehicle. WOW. THANK YOU LORD. It was quite an amazing experience. We should have hit it, but thanks to God, people were praying.
So we arrived in Cape Town a few days ago, and we have a few days off again. However, I am looking forward to the work we are going to be doing. Yesterday we went to the beach, and the person we are staying with took pictures of us posing as surfers for her website, because she is a surfer teacher. It was so much fun, i loved it.
And not much else that I can write now, sooo i God bless!!
