So this week we didn't actually go to Lesotho which was a big bust. That sucked because I wanted to go but God was telling us to stay and keep on here. So one day our group had a "called fast" and a 24 hour prayer. I did 2 hours of it and finally came to a conclusion. For a while like about 2 months, I have been wondering what I have done to be remembered or what not here in J-bay. But the more I look at this huge garden that I made and the work it still needs to be done. I had holidays and then camp and then A week of painting the church. I noticed something. That garden looks like a mess. My fence isn't finished, there are weeds everywhere, nothing is growing except for grass, and the tomatoes are basically dead. And do you know what I thought about that? I was completely at peace with that finally. I'm not going to come home and say " look how beautiful this is, look what I have done with my hand to help people, look at what I can do" and make the missionary quota. When I was at camp, the last night was a big thing for freedom upon the kids. There was a confession booth, anointing booth, communion booth, washing the feet, etc. I poured my life into those boys all year. They see that. And then a 15 year old boy (eben) comes up to me that night and says " hey God want to tell you that you are His disciple and you are working in these boys lives and the HE IS PROUD!" I freaking lost it. What I have done here is amazing for this town, this community, this family we call youth. Also with the kids at Ithemba church. So now I have about 4 weeks left on my trip. I am going to pick up what is left on this garden and finish some loose ends with it like the fence and what not and be done with it. God did teach me through that garden more than I thought. The things that I learned here are unforgettable and life changing for me and will definitely be a huge part of my life forever. So ya it was a great week for me. I'm glad that we didn't go to Lesotho now. But yes. I should go and finish my errands and my never ending hunt for perogies. wish me luck.
Later there
