So, the air here in Africa is so much more clear and refreshing. I think the air smells like woods or spices. In the malls, there is a tinge of different body smells and some exotic perfumes and also the foods. Many of the foods here are spiced with curry and garlic and I am actually beginning to crave our Botswana dishes. The beef is outrageous and tender and the vegetables are great when we get them. I am not sure what I will be eating in the village but I know some of the dishes are wonderful. There is also a worm, called mopane which I will not eat. I just cannot do it right now. I hope not to offend anyone,but it is not possible for me. Well maybe soon.....
A few words about the spiritual air here. There are a lot of churches here and I have been to a couple. I enjoyed greatly the AIC I attended on Good Friday. When I arrive in Francistown it will be important for me to find a home church. I am gathering some connections so I will have an easier time I hope than starting from scratch.
The group of folks I am associated with are a spiritually intense group of Christians who love our Lord. This is great support for me, and I am at ease expressing myself and how I feel. I am a bit hungry for more Bible study, but I am also doing quite a bit of language study so I am using that time to expand my vocabulary. I am feeling at ease with knowing I am where God wants me at this time. This brings me great relief although I am eager to work and see everything.
Part of our concern will be finding a place for me to live in Francistown. We are pretty sure that i will be in the AIMM house but it will not be available for possibly six months. Well, we shall see what God is placing before us......
