We arrived in Johannesburg, South Africa late Saturday night with the Real Life team.  Everyone is safe, all of the luggage came through and it was a long and uneventful 2 days of travel.  We've now had a couple nights rest and have hit the ground running.

So far we've had some great interaction with the FYM team hear.  God is doing a work in a number of their lives and it's been great to see their growth over the past few months.  Like many teams, they are working though some issues regarding living in community with one another and how they can do that better.  We are confident that God will bring this team closer to one another as they draw closer to the Lord.  Living in community is not easy as we have to constantly lay aside individual desires and rights.  God is in the process of teaching this team that.

Tomorrow morning we leave with the Real Life team into Swaziland.  We were going to go today, but decided to stay at Alabanza and extra day before heading in.  We are looking forward to seeing the homestead and the ministry sites which we've heard so much about.  We're also looking forward to seeing Jumbo again, whom we haven't seen for about 8 months now.
