I’m stoked to share that I love living in Durban! I feel so at home here, and know I’m exactly where the Lord wants me. Durban is incredibly relaxed and stunningly beautiful. I have never lived in a place like this. It's ridiculously hot/humid, but with the heat comes a unique beauty. The area is beautiful, but I believe I've fallen in love with this place because of the people. I have felt deeply cared for from our first day here in Durban.
Our campus director here is Gary Price. Gary has been living in Durban for the last 13 years, and has lived in different locations across Africa for the last 26 years. It has been a wonderful privilege working with Gary, and getting to know him and his family. Gary and his wife Cheryl have 5 boys who they’ve raised here in South Africa. The family has been incredibly welcoming. Spending time with them has reminded me how important community is. The Price family has connected us to a wonderful church, sacrificed their time, car and energy to help us settle into life smoothly. They have simply loved us from the moment we landed a little over a week ago. Our little team of three has fallen in love with Durban because of families like this. We are incredibly blessed.
Last Saturday Gary, Cheryl, and Steven their son took us to a Sharks rugby game. It was a lot of fun learning more about the game and experience the glory that is rugby. The picture below is us after the game on the field.
Please pray for our amazing friends and the relationships God has blessed us with in them. Please pray for us as we get involved on campus and in the community, and that we can care for the Price family as deeply as they have cared for us. Thank you for all of your prayers. I can feel them from 10,000 miles away :).
Please know I am thinking and praying for all of you back home!
