Happy New Year!! I cannot believe it is another year!! I have many things that I am eager to get started on this year. I'm looking forward to a fresh semester of college, I'm looking forward to finding a church to get involved in and I cannot wait to have many more adventures!
With Luke still being gone it was just my parents and me. We met up with some of their friend to go to the beach and hand out Jesus tracts. There were several thousand people there and out of those thousands of people there were about a dozen white people. The area we were in are mostly blacks and the reason for thousands of people being there today (not only to celebrate the new year) is due to the fact that during the apartheid in South Africa blacks were not aloud to go to the beach, so once the apartheid ended it has become a tradition to go to the beach because they have the right to now.
The winds were strong today so sand was blowing everywhere, but it didn't stop people from going to the beach or stop us from spreading the Word of God. Mma and I grabbed a bag of tracts and began to walk around passing the tracts out to men, women and children wishing them a 'Happy New Year.' As we walked together we had to be on guard as a majority of the people were drunk. I had two marriage proposals and a few younger girls took photos with us acting as if Mma and I were celebrities. Although we were covered in sand and had sand in our hair, nose, ears and mouth, it was a great way to start of the year.
In the evening we drove to the airport to pick up Luke from MK Camp! He had a blast and I'm so glad he was able to go! MK Camp is awesome, as all the MKs, from a few surrounding countries, get to see each other after a long time and have worship together and enjoy games and make the best memories! It's good to have Luke back!
