After finishing with our Smart Choices program on Thursday we have enjoyed a day of sight seeing and a day of rest.
We got up at 4am to go to the Hluhluwe/iMfoloze game reserve in Zululand. What a treat for us to see so many animals in their natural habitat. I think the highlight must have been spotting a young male lion! We past him the first time around and when we backed back up he was crouching in the bush. Then he got up and walked right in front of our van and stopped in the road and swished his tail and then sauntered off - as if to say 'oh yeah, I am king of the jungle!' :-)

We were blessed to see a large variety of animals and the most delightful thing was most of them had their young with them. It's a sight to behold when you see baby giraffe, baby rhino, baby elephants and baby monkeys. We were also thrilled to see a hippo out of the water and up on the slope eating grass. This is highly unusual as they easily sunburn if they are out of the water during the daytime but, it was a cool overcast day so he must have thought 'why wait to eat'.
We stayed until the park closed and arrived back home at 8 pm. After sitting in a van for so long only I was thinking that it took us longer to travel 200 miles round trip than it took us to fly from Washington D.C. to Johannesburg.
This morning we said good-bye to Mike Langdon as he had to fly back home today. As we gathered for our morning devotionals he wanted to share what God had laid on his heart. I wanted to share some of what he shared with us. I am so blessed that he took the time to pray over us and God gave him a scripture for each one of us. I thought that I would give you the scriptures that he gave us and maybe you could also be praying for us according to His word for our lives. We are praying for each other as well that we would grow as it says in 1 Timothy 4:12b, that we would set examples for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
