Sooooo, the knee has been a bit better from a few days ago. Amen! The physio only used my insurance so I haven't paid a dime from my pocket, or whatever the currency is they use :)
She said it's either a ligament and if it's not healed it's meniscus. Sooo praying for with the excercises, ultrasound and this red laser light thing, I should be getting better.
More than anything I've truly enjoyed my rides on the train. I hate how everyone says it's so terrible, man I've loved the interaction and teh lady preaching in Kosa on the train. Another lady who honestly helped me my 1st time on the train to Wineberg I asked if it was the right stop and she helped me figure it out. Today there she was again and came right up to me to say hey, and I honestly stick out like a sore thumb. Clearly not from SA. I think she had guts. This is sad, but being white and not looking like I'im from here but as if I have money, I feel safer. In some ways. Like people seems to obey to me or look at me or treat me, (strangers) as if I am in higher regard. I hate it. But at the same time, I feel like the 'good' people out there like on the train have their eye out for me to help me. She did so today when some guy was saying something which didn't seem nice to me. She walked me to my physio and it was awesome! Made my day!
These people have so much to teach me and when couped up, it defeats the whole purpose!
Anyways, we're in this week with a fantastic speaker Michael Leeson and it's at a pivitol point I believe. It's now time of action or at least looking into our visions and learning that it's all about taking risks!
I'll touch more on that later, I have so much to dang catch up on on my past notes.
Ok it's Thurday night and as a base we're all fasting and running a 24 hour prayer, toungues, and Bible reading for Botswana Week.
This morning before our first session we spoke for the first time logistics about outreaches now that we all know where we're going and have leaders.
If it hasn't been clear I"m going to SA and Swaziland for my outreach. Found out today our fees are around 10,000 for the outreach phase. This is around 1500 US. Man I"m lucky. But as a team, we have so much to raise. 250,000 Rand. Yeah, so that's at least the large number as we look into flights for others on the team to like Thailand and India etc. We also threw out some brainstorming ideas. Fundraisers etc. I definately would love some feedback and ideas we could do here.
We're working on a little slideshow to send home to our home churches, so that should be exciting!
Ahhhh, yeah gotta go work on my homework. Loving my book for the next book report, by Floyd McClung, You See Bones, I see and Army. Yes read it for 'simple churches'. Laslty I want to remember that I've had 2 random people on the street come up to me asking if I'm Brazilian. I don't remember if I already wrote about this, but it struck me as so odd, but then again...next world cup is there :)
Write more soon!
I gotta catch up on notes and lectures, tell me how you all are!
