Visiting Nthatile just outside of Mt. Fletcher in Kwa-Zulu Natal South Africa





Visiting Nthatile and her family was an awesome experience. it was a 5 hour bus ride to Kokstad, South Africa from East London. Then another hours drive to where the World Vision office was and where Mkhululi and me would be staying overnight. Then the following day on Saturday, May 9th, we drove another hour to the village. It was amazing how cold it was there and the leaves changing colors. They actually get snow there in the winter time, which is right around the corner. Not a lot of snow, but they get snow. It was strange seeing little villages among the huge mountains that surround that part of South Africa.

I know that Nthatile and her family were blessed by me coming. I'm glad that I could bless the little girl and family that my parents sponsored through World Vision. Nthatile is currently living with her aunt in Johannesburg and has been taken off of the World Vision sponsorship list.
But World Vision arranged it for her to be home so I could visit her.

Her mom arranged some of the girls and guys within the community to bless me with some traditional Xhosa dancing. It was beautiful and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Nomzamo and Aki



It's been great to be able to bless those around me and be God's hands and feet to those I come in contact with. Thank you for all your prayers and those who are considering on assisting Nomzamo in completing her grade 12. I had her and Aki over for a late lunch on Friday, we had a great time together. If you would still like to assist Nomzamo, pls contact via email at capetown_77@hotmail.com.

Visiting Sphelele- The boy Stephanie sponsors through World Vision

I had a wonderful time blessing Sphelele and his family. I hope to go back again before I leave East London in September.
