I love you!
Today we went to a preschool and a school to sing some songs and play some music for them. You’ll never believe this- the Zaks have a nice violin, so I have been playing everywhere we go! So much for practicing a piano J No one has pianos. It was not what I expected, but at least I can play hymns and a little millionaire’s hoedown for fun. The people are so sweet- last night we stayed with Pastor Nicholas and his wife in their village, and they had a service for us last night. We got to share testimonies (I shared about how it was such a trust-building experience to raise money for this trip) and play music/sing. Pastor Nicholas was such a wise and Biblically-founded man. He had been to seminary and taught us so much about the South African culture and different traditions. Ancestor worship is pretty common here, but most people will tell you they believe in Jesus. I love it here- I would love to come back and stay with the Zaks or work with Johanna or something- Johanna is a woman that single-handedly runs a orphanage for babies with Aids and an old folks home as well. What a ministry she has! We still haven’t gotten our suitcases yet. I am living out of my backpack- thank goodness the Zaks are being amazing and letting us do laundry and take showers, etc. They have a beautiful home and are wonderful hosts. I have told them hi for you and from our church J They were excited when they found out I was a Henry. I love you and miss you! Pray for us, that we will stay healthy, get our luggage, and see God continue to do amazing things! I feel like I’ve been blessed more than been a blessing. Hopefully it will go both ways by the time I head home. Much love,
Angela

Hey Angela! I’m so glad to hear that things are going well. I think the hardest part for me would be living out of a backpack-way to go girl! So glad you can use your musical talents to be a blessing to those you visit. Johanna sounds like an amazing and blessed woman-what a wonderful testimony and example. Keep us posted on all your adventures!
Love you!
