As you celebrate the coming of spring in America, here in South
Africa, many are taking the day off to celebrate Human Rights Day
which is associated with apartide in 1994. I guess if this is the
first day of spring for you, since our seasons are opposite it would
be the first day of fall here. The weather has been fairly warm - I
think yesterday it was 80 F before 10 a.m.
Last week several of us went to a village high school to pass out
Gospel books and invite them to our Sunday village service. I had my
camera with me, so I asked my cousin if it would be alright to take
some pictures (some areas it isn't that safe to take out your camera),
and she said it would be fine. The students loved having their
pictures taken, and many would find a friend to be in the picture too.
They all have to wear uniforms - this village school's colors were
yellow and black. They all looked very neat and orderly in them.
Something else I got to do for the first time last week was do a
personal Bible study with my Aunt at the neighbor's house. I said I'd
go as long as I didn't have to read in Afrikans - everyone laughs at
me when I do and say it sounds more like German! I brought my English
Bible and tried to follow along as well as I could.
