The Last Supper (in Worcester, SA)
|
On April 28th we finished packing up our house in Worcester, South Africa, and launched into what we have dubbed our "Unbelievable Intercontinental Adventure".
First stop: England.
 |
| The bluebells waited for us! |
We stayed in 3 locations: with my (Rachel's) parents, brother and his family, and Great Aunt Gill and really enjoyed some family time and many walks in the country-side.
 |
| Grandma and Papa with Ashani |
 |
| Eating vast quantities of wild garlic |
 |
| Barrel-rolling became very popular |
 |
| Ashani with Aunty Priya |
Next stop: Denver. We wanted to spend some time with Kevin's dad who had had a stroke and a heart attack and is currently on the hospice program, and also with his mom - especially as neither of them had yet met Ashani.
 |
| Planting flowers outside Kevin's mom's apartment block |
Kevin's mom was happy to have some help with the flower beds - she said it would have taken her 2 or 3 weeks, and the Yangas family knocked it out in 3 hours.
 |
| We took Kevin's dad out to lunch in down-town Denver |
From Denver we flew to East Texas where we are currently staying at the "Mecca of Mercy Ships" (aka the Mercy Ships International Operations Center). We will start training this Saturday, and it will run for 6 weeks.
Kevin and Daniel just returned from a quick 5-night trip to Ellensburg to visit our home church and connect with friends and supporters. They were also able to spend a day with brother Brian and nephew Connor.

In July, after our training, we will fly back to South Africa to join the ship, which will be our home for the next 3+ years! We are excited to get to serve as volunteers again with such a great organization, and we're starting to look forward to not living out of suitcases for a while!
