Forgive me if once again, I write out of chronological order.
I returned from my Holiday travels last Wenesday on the night train. Tim Bertsches, former Botswana missions worker, picked me up from the station early early early. I had been anxious o meet the Bertsches, and was very happy to realize they had set time aside for me in their very busy schedule. Wednesday Tim and his wonderful wife Laura took me out for lunch and we spent several hours getting to know each other as much as possible. We then went home, Laura, Melody and I went for tea at Grace's house and the rest of the afternoon was just golden.
Thursday we all went visiting. We mostly visited in Monarch, an area of town very close to where I live. We ended the time in Monarch with a visit to the Tabona household. Rra Tabona is with the Head Mountain church, a very large and influential spiritual church here. We had a short prayer meeting , tea and snacks and then went outside for pictures. I spent most of the time chatting with Rra's wife,Mma Jane.She is one of the warmest people I have ever met. She gave Laura and I both gifts, and then realizing that I was admiring her hardens, she then gave me five or six of her potted plants, filling my boot with greenery. One of their sons, Peter attends Bopaganang Basha. Mma Jane and I exchanged phone numbers and with a promise of tea we parted.
That night Melody and Carl threw a pizza party for the Bertsches. Friday morning I went to BoB for Bible study and then Tim arrived and we had conversation with the leaders. Great advicegiven by new friends!
