Final Days In Cape Town

Written by Nathan

Hello brothers and sisters,

I just want to start by saying that from all of us we are beyond grateful for all the love, prayers and support that we have received before, during, and even after our return. This trip would have been impossible without them.

We wanted to give one final recap of how our trip ended as we have not been able to do that. In addition here is the link to our recap during service a couple of weeks ago.  Watch Clip from 25:00-37:55

Our Saturday began with us having our last breakfast together, which was always 

wonderful every single day. After that, with our serving alongside living hope coming to a close on Friday, we began to do some sightseeing around cape town, seeing all the wonders God had created around the area, as well as learning more about the history of the city.

We came across the museum called District Six, which went into great detail about the origins of Cape Town, and how it was the first out of the districts to begin to resist against the heavy segregation imposed at the time, where many Africans and "colored persons" were forced to live in closed off, and run-down areas, while foreigners lived in much better communities and situations. But the amazing thing is that this is not a point in history that Capetown tries to forget, but instead uses as a source of inspiration, and remembrance in order to bring about a future where these actions are not repeated again.

 After this, we then got to witness Adam bargain with the local people to purchase gifts to bring back to the U.S.. Let me tell you, that was truly a sight to behold!!! 

As for the sightseeing part of our weekend, we were unfortunately unable to visit table mountain for the entire weekend, as it was much too foggy at the top of the mountain both Saturday and Sunday. We will just have to trust Maggie and the Lord that the view is beyond beautiful! However, we were still able to take a trip to the edge of the Capetown peninsula, which is called Cape Point, and take some great pictures together, and just be able to soak in the stunning view overlooking the hillside, and into the sea. All in all we, had an amazing journey together, and we were able to drop off Pastor Jeremy to the airport to continue his mission trip to Nairobi. 

After a couple of days of sightseeing and fellowship with each other, we started our long journey back home. We’ve probably already seen and shared stories with many of you. Once again thank you all for the love, prayers and support, and we are forever grateful to the Lord and to you for partnering with us on our mission to serve Him :).
