People part 1

So I have been negligent in mentioning the different people here. One of the greatest gifts in living abroad is meeting people from all countries. Of course, there are lots of South Africans, afrikaaners, and Zimbabweans. But we now have friends from Norway, Sweden, 'Germany, Denmark, Australia, Britain, Scotland and yesterday I met an older woman from Northern Ireland. Many are mission workers, but many are consulate workers and bankers. Very exciting. I have yet to actually meet any Americans but will probably when I get to Francistown. It is really eye opening to meet these folks-many are so kind and very curious. It is amazing how God moves in each life without borders or boundaries of race, country, or denomination. We Mennonites have a loving reputation here because we are not trying to plant churches, just support and help the local churches. I am told the Bible studies down here are enjoyed with great enthusiasm so I am looking forward to joining one or two when I return from my village live in.
