Another Day in Paradise

Greetings from Soweto!!
Today our group visited the Soweto Region of the Johannesburg  Church of Christ for our service. Let's just say that their music alone is so uplifting and moving. They know how to praise God in such a different, yet totally amazing way. Jeff spoke and did a wonderful job speaking about the miracles of God and what he can do. My favorite part was when he spoke about fear he said God is now and the present and you can only fear what is in the future. So if you focus on God then you will have no fears.
To end the day we did a little tour of the town and where I personally ate my first African buffet lunch. I must say, it was pretty good.  We also saw Nelson Mandela's first home.
I woke up this morning thankful for another day, and tonight I'll be able to go to sleep even more thankful than before thanks to another great day in Africa and for this wonderful experience.
