Our last full day in South Africa!

Well, the three weeks has just flown by and we cant belive that we are flying home tommorow!
On Saturday we climbed Table Mountain!!! It was so hard and at times we wanted to give up but we got to the top in the end, which made it worth it. It was like rock climbing at times, toned our leg muscles though!!
On Sunday we lead a Churches Sunday school, which was really good. Yesterday we went to a school to help with a feeding scheme and then we went to a farm, where a number of very poor families live. We just spent some time hanging out with the children and chucking balls around. They loved the bubbles that were given to them! It was quite an emotional experience as i think this was the poorest area we have seen here in South Africa.
We then went to to a Children's hospital and spent some time doing oragami with the girls. It was so nice to be able to do this as some of the girls have been there for years!
Today we are going back to the hospital and to a Children's home called SOS.
Our flight is at 7pm tommorow and we will arrive into heathrow at about 6am!!

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Love, Team Cape Town.

Tea bags

Hi from Neil, S Africa is an amazing place but the tea situation is a problem. We have been blessed to find Twinings english breakfast tea in the shops. I now have a nice room after sleeping rough in the sticks for so long. MMMMM.

The girls are treating me well especially Lizzie (do I pass grade 6 of my gentlemens exam now Lizzie????). We cannot believe it is near the end of the trip but God has taught us so much and we are blessed. :-)

hello from ro.

this morning- (we are staying in the pinelands house) we left at 8:30 (impressed by the fact we were on time lol) driving in our wonderfull venture mobeel and then.... andre' said sumit- pulled up on the curb and declared us a flat tyre! so standing on the side of the road- looking at the main road on which we were just about to pullout on to before the finding and thanking God this didnt happen yesterday since we drove over 4 hours through the mountains and so that would have been bad. the tyre was flat but also the middle mettle bit wa no longer fully attached to the rubber bit. we rung some peeps and waited for assistance (note that it was only when the two guys in the group walked up to the road- away from the car and the girls- leaving us looking like we were the ones in trouble- that some men drove up to help !!!) ha!! :-)
any who- it got fixed and we got to the office safe and sound- we had a gathering of teams-people from the uk- usa- german and south african. worship was mint and the guy leading stuff (the talk) really gave us soem challenging stuff to think about and to work on- about giftings and clashes with others with different giftings and christians getting on and all that... hard hitting stuff.

this afrenoon we are going prezzy buying in the market and tomorrow is table mountain hopefully.

thanks for your prayers and support.
please write back- our comment list is kinda empty :-)
go on you know you want to

Yo from Lizzie!

Hey everyone!
Wow, what an experience it has been so far! I have seen so much and had so many amazing experiences that I will never forget. I wont even attempt to explain on here, but i really look forward to being able to tell you all about it face to face.
God is doing some great stuff in me and the team, and also in the mission work we are doing. I think we are all feeling overwhelmed and challenged but everything is good! Because God is good! Amen!

Lots of love
Lizzie (aka laughing Lizzie)
