Just another amazing and sunny day in beautiful SA! We’ve been so blessed to be able to travel to
MOSAIC’s third location in Port Elizabeth.
This site is approximately 600 miles from Wellington where we’ve been
building the houses and spending time at the Community Center. Carl and Estelle Kirstein are the managers of
this location and they and their staff are doing incredible work with some 59
children from the community. The center
is bright and open, colorfully decorated, with well-equipped classrooms, a
kitchen and a large outdoor space where the kids can run and play. When we arrived this afternoon, the children
were joyfully playing a game with the parachute Cammy had purchased for them in
the U.S. and it was a wonderful sight to behold. The future looks so promising for this Mosaic
site and the community, as they anticipate the construction of the 21 homes
planned for the not-too-distant future.
On a ‘side-trip’, we had the opportunity to experience two
different game parks where we took in the magnificence of God’s creation in
those acres and acres of open space. Be
sure to ask a S.A. traveler to show you his/her photos(VERY UPCLOSE!) of lions,
zebra, elephants, giraffes, hippo, a crocodile and many smaller animals. For some of us, our favorite creature was the
elusive warthog! These scenes and
creatures are simply stunning and we are beyond grateful to have had this chance
to take a break and take it all in.

We are returning to Wellington this evening and then will
prepare for our final full day in S.A..
Our time has passed so quickly and yet it seems as though we’ve been away
from home and loved ones for a very long time.
It will be really hard to say good-by to those we have come to love here
in this wonderful country. Your continued
prayers for our travels and experiences are deeply appreciated.
Blessings, dear ones, in HIM.
Pastor Vicki
