This week we've been able to build up our relationships more with the people at philangethemba and the youth at the church. The youth at St Agnes are so welcoming and friendly...we have been taken to the Gorge, the beach and to the cinema twice (so ive been keeping up my busy social life lol) so we feel we have really fitted in well at the church.
One of the youth at the church called Jordan has had a vision for some time about creative evangulism which he has just put into action by setting up a project called the 7 stones involving dance, drama, film, visual art, music and poetry, at the church, which im quite excited about as ive voulenteered as one of the leaders in the visual art part (suprise suprise) so have been going mad with artistic ideas :)
As for down in the valley...we have been doing more lessons, getting a bit more involve, which can be quite challenging at times as some of the classes are of students not much younger than me, and they can be quite a loud and scarey class when they want to be. Me and Alice also went and played soccer today with some of the kids in the valley and that was really fun (i scored a goal :) ) and they all wanted their pictures taken when they saw my camera which i couldnt say no to.
We also got a chance to go on safari at the weekend too which actually was amazing :)
I think thats pretty much it at the mo...but could people pray for the project Philangethema as we have very much wanted to work within the HIV clinics in the valley but havent been able too as the relationships between Philangethemba and the clinics havent been good but thats on the mend, so just some pray that it works out, the relationships restored and we are able to go in and help in the areas needed within the clinics.
