Oh, Church!

After arriving in the country, Mark and I began the difficult task of trying to find a church to call home.

Top of the week to ya! If Wednesday is hump day, I’m thinking it would be the “top” of the week –yeah? Anyway. I’m getting settled in South Africa pretty well. It helps to have visited a few times before the move. But I’m at the stage where if I walk out the front door, [...]
