I wrote this 3 days ago, thought I'd at least post it

Ok so I must take my time in updating I am currently sitting in Cape Town airport ready to hope on the flight heading to Johannesberg without knowing exactly what’s going to happen to me. It’s going to be ok because I’ve already seen God’s hand in what I’m about to embark on, so I feel it’s going to be ok. He’ll protect me. I’ll try and backtrack a bit to catch up on all the chaos and excitement!
So, first of all I’m here because of a few factors. I have 10,000 brochures on the doorstep of YWAM. Amen! I have been getting blessed with going to matches, seeing New Zealand taking some major tie with the world’s champions!!! Yes NZ tied to Italy 1 – 1 and I couldn’t have been prouder. Just like the match of England vs Algeria I saw last Friday night, I saw an under dog team of Algeria get through with a tie 0 – 0 and those fans won over my heart. They were vibrant, loud, happy, singing, and celebrated as if they’d won the world cup after that tie. I took some pictures and just embraced that closed country, that overtook Cape Town and from what I heard partied until the wee hours of the morning. New Zealand…same thing. I watched them play really well and push with a tie against the world champions Italy, and to see the boys faces, and the crowd where I spotted my old coach and New Zealand friends with their shirts off twirling, it just stole my emotions. I left the base jumping up and down screaming for those boys and went on a fantastic run and finished off the night with some wonderful new guests Grant and Laura, the Americans visiting. We had curry and I was blessed to have my wonderful roommates have a taste of what Jesus is doing in both these servant’s lives. Great night, that was 2 nights ago.
Back on track now, ok so yes, NZ could possibly go to the next round. America is very likely to go onto the next round, HOWEVER, if they don’t they are done and fly home. I am on a mission (with Michael’s ticket in hand) to Polokwani to catch up with the fans, friends, and team to watch them play Paraguay Thursday. That’s a HUGE reason for traveling. I heard from Mike Greeny, my old coach that I need to get up there and others who are up like Andy Barron and Jeremy Christie are playing and it would be so so cool to be there! More reasons…
Tickets at the stadiums have been available. Completely! I’ve been meeting people left and right with tickets. People who have been getting tickets last minute. I even met this amazing ticket selling (his occupation in Switzerland) who knows how to get tickets. More to that story soon. So I’m in no doubt if I got to the America match, I could see it. BUT, another blessing came through. My friend Donoven from here originally, whom I met while in Mississippi, who connected me with mates in NZ a few years ago, is here. He’s in Jo and told me to come up. He knows I’m coming today, not sure if I can or will stay with him, but he said he has an extra ticket to the Germany vs Ghana in Soccer City Stadium. There’s that option as well, but friend Nicolai (another story) has just arrived to Jo, where he’s from  and he’s looking to try and get into the America game if possible. So I needed to at least head north. Ok story on Nicolai.
So Nic is originally from SA. He lives now in NZ where I met him from my small group. He has been fully supportive and guiding me along here in SA and praying for me and the ABSTAIN 2010 campaign. Super stoked! So, this is what God has placed in front of me. Oh before I forget, my license, which I haven’t had since was stolen months months ago, arrived on the doorstep today! YES God is conspiring some magic! Well, Nic was in London airport on his laptop talking with me on facebook. He said his trip to Kyrgyzstan was cancelled because the country just broke out in war. He was going on a few month missions trip there, now stuck in London airport, figuring out what to do next. He’s off work, and once he saw me online and asked how things were going he changed plans and came here. He said yes I want to help, I’d love to show you around the country, I know people, places, never been to Polokwani either, and wanted to help distribute brochures too. So here he is now. He said get up to Jo and we’ll work on it. He’s even working on a safari in the Kruger right now!!! Yes amazing. So our other friend Sara who is from NZ is also trying to get north so we can do this together. We’ve been really trying to connect and so I’m praying it all works out.
I’ve just texted him and he’s in Jo, just not sure if/when he can get to airport and also texted D and looking to hear back from him asap. Worst comes to worse, I meet people, or I take train, or I get to backpackers asap. Safety first I know, but been meeting heaps of people and traveling, friends…not been hard. God will show me. I bought a 1 way at midnight the other night after curry dinner and prayers w
