I'm finally in SOUTH AFRICA!!

So, I arrived in South Africa on Friday, July 11 about 5pm, and I went straight to Lyndhurst Baptist (where I worked last summer) to see the youth. Although I was a little jetlagged, I had an awesome time getting to see everyone; they couldn’t believe I was there. They had a bonfire, and we roasted marshmallows and hung out. The missionaries that I worked with last summer (the Tadlocks) took me to my apartment, and I stayed there my first night in Johannesburg (Joburg); it is a very nice place, just very cold. I have a three bedroom/two bath apartment; I’m going to turn one of the bedrooms into the dining room/office I think so I can have more living room space to have people over. I went to church on Sunday; I have really missed the service and people here. Please pray especially for Lyndhurst Baptist Church during the next few months as the Pastor announced he is most likely moving to pastor a church in Australia. He is a great man who has served there for 11 years, and he will be missed. On Monday, I began training at the Guest House; the Guest House has 8 permanent residents for missionary families and 18 hotel like suites for people traveling through or receiving medical attention in Joburg. My main responsibility includes driving missionaries to the airport and helping in the front office. Please pray that I will be able to learn how to drive a stick shift on the opposite side of the road and in the opposite side of the car; I have been practicing each day, but it is very difficult for me. I would like to be able to be comfortable driving to church and work at least soon. I will continue to practice each day! I know that God is my strength; He gave me strength to receive all of my shots without passing out, and I know He can give me peace and endurance when driving in the city. I am going to go organize and unpack some things I bought at PickNPay (kind of like a mini WalMart). Till later!
I am claiming this verse: Psalm 4: 7-8 “You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
