Pretoria, South Africa
What an awesome way to start a new semester living with families in South Africa! Our group was split up in to three groups and sent to different churches where we were boarded with Afrikaaner host families for a whole week in Pretoria.
Daren and I were blessed to by the hospitality of an elderly couple. Everyday when we got home from our lectures or tours they would make sure we sat down and told them all about it. It was awesome just to experience some of the cultural differences as well as to hear our host families’ opinions on important issues in their country.
Despite going to sleep early (blame it on jet-lag, and the heat) we had a hilarious time and I’m glad we got to know each other and our host family better, as well as seeing the work God is doing in their lives and this beautiful country.

A Lecture on South African History at the University of Pretoria with Professor Piet Merring, who played an influencial role in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the mid 90s after Apartheid ended.
Beautiful South Africa!
