A Beautiful, Sunny Week!

 I've been working hard on my assignments for "Biblical Foundations for Justice and Peacemaking" that I took at SPI. Turned in my big paper this morning! But I've made some time to enjoy the sunshine this last week. (Tomorrow the rain is supposed to come again.)

On Sunday, Ruth invited us for church, and it was so fun to go to her part of town with Mark, meet church members (she introduced me with "We were together in Zambia."), hear Gina singing a song she wrote, and eat lunch together. I'm blessed to be close to them both again.

We have had such a lovely time with a visiting professor from UT - running, hiking, eating, sightseeing, and talking have all been very pleasant to share with Karen Engle, of the Rapaport Center for Human Rights. Here we are in from of Desmond Tutu's church in downtown Cape Town. Notice the "Prayers for Madiba" sign in the back. (Madiba is Nelson Mandela's African name.)

This is on one of our hikes with Karen E. Table Mountain is in the background. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and we kept hiking longer than we should have (we all had work to do!) because it was so nice out.

Mark's scooter! He is a great driver, and I'm comfortable on back of the bike. It has been so helpful since all of his classes and frisbee are in the evenings, and it's better not to walk after dark. We're thankful for God's provision.

One of the joys of international travel.
