August 16

Paul and I had a wonderful morning walking along the beach of the Indian Ocean it was overcast day but not too chilly. In the afternoon Susan picked us up. Micah was picked up from school and then we picked up Maddie.
Scott took us to one of his churches he is serving. He has what we would say a mother church and then two sister churches. They are connected for main events, Scott rotates his time between them. The area he serves is beautiful. From one church you can see the top of another across the mountain. The roads in this area are dirt,stones and mountains all around so it's difficult for this third world area to get around.. No electricity and they receive water from a stream. We met one of the leaders, she was a delight and very happy that Scott is taking time for their congregational church. Scott has no salary for these churches, he is a real gift to this community. When we arrived back to the house Susan had a lovely dinner ready for us, after dinner we went to a wine tasting feast... We arrived at 8 pm and found out it was over at 8:30. But we tasted many south African wines and had fun...
Susan and Scott begin each day very early. Susan has chapel with the girls which begins at 7:30 am. And Scott takes the children to school at 6 am most of the time they don't get home until after 6 pm....they are amazing family! Below are photos of one of Scott's churches and terrific scenery. .
