So I finally made it! Not without a few delays (apparently it snows in the winter in DC, who would have thought?), but after 20 collective hours of being on planes we arrived in Johannesburg at about 6pm (that's 11am for you).
As you can see there were quite a few people here, it was also dark and rainy, so there were very few photo opportunities. These are a couple rough shots of the grounds on which I will be living.
Some of the apprentices arrived today and others will be arriving tomorrow. The official number of people is going to be seven, with a few transient staff members, fellow sojourners, and the like. I can't wait to show you all some more shots of the grounds, they are absolutely gorgeous. I'll have some pictures of my room tomorrow (it's a tad messy right now) and some of the other apprentices (also a tad messy from the long day... I hope they don't read this!). Indeed it has been a long day and it's about time for me to unpack and unwind, but in the midst of the weariness there is a hope and anticipation for what God is going to do in us, with us and through us this year.

Hehe - "tad messy", huh?! I know where you sleep! I know about your fear of spiders! Combine those two and you have a potent mix for blackmail...
So jealous. So very jealous. I hope you're doing awesome and that God's already working through you!
