Some Sweet things

Okay there has been some sweet stuff happen recently, and I have to share some of it....so here it is in random order:

1. While eating lunch at a restaurant on a mountain at Cape Point (bottom tip of Africa) a couple of days ago, we saw baboons steal food from people's plates (while they were eating) and people working there chasing them away. Every 2 or 3 minutes a baboon would return and try and steal more food. Then while sitting in the restaurant overlooking the ocean we saw a whale.

2. Last Tuesday I had the opportunity to teach a few math classes at a high school in Swaziland that a couple of orphans from the farm attend. The students were very polite, but not quick to answer questions in class. There are 30-50 students in a classroom, but it was a absolute blast!!

3. I got to walk with penguins on Saturday. Basically I was about 2 feet away at times. Then later that day we saw some ostriches a few feet from the car...no fence...no nothing.

4. I went to my first ever National Rugby game on Friday. It is almost as big in South Africa as football in the US. It is a pretty intense game. We were 8 rows up from the field, so we heard every hit.

5. Today in Cape Town I had the opportunity to attend the morning and evening church services at Hillsong Cape Town...all my hillsong fans know what a big deal this is to me.

6. Last Tuesday evening we had a party with kids, youth, adults, etc. There were like 500 baked cookies (thanks to Julie) and hot chocolate for about 80 people. We watched the movie "Elf." Good times.

Thats it for now. I can't believe that I will be home in less than two weeks. Peace.
