Greetings from South Africa!<\/strong>

Dear Family and Friends,
<\/strong>
I wanted to give you a quick update, as I\u2019m sure you are curious about how things are going here in South Africa. By God\u2019s grace, I\u2019m doing very well! My body has finally adjusted to the environment and time zone, which took about a week. I\u2019m also staying with Jody and his family, who have been such a blessing\u2014warmly welcoming me and ensuring I\u2019m cared for.

Before arriving in South Africa, Jody and I had an original plan, but God redirected us here to Cape Town. We were supposed to go to Pretoria to work with a married couple, yet God led us differently. This reminds me of Acts 16, where Paul and Silas were guided by the Spirit in ways they didn\u2019t expect\u2014but God\u2019s plans are always perfect. I\u2019m excited to trust Him as He opens the doors He wants us to walk through. It feels a bit like navigating a maze\u2014seeking Him, learning His ways, and trusting Him to lead me step by step, knowing that every turn is part of His greater purpose. I\u2019ll share more in the next newsletter. In the meantime, I\u2019ve been slowly developing relationships with Deaf South Africans in Cape Town, which, as you know, takes time and patience.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m also grateful to share that I\u2019m officially serving with YWAM Deaf World in Pennsylvania, alongside leaders Dan and Carole, who have a heart for training Deaf missionaries. They\u2019re keeping in touch with me while I serve in South Africa, praying together for wisdom and ensuring I\u2019m led by the Holy Spirit. I\u2019m deeply thankful to God for providing them as spiritual covering, accountability, and guidance in this journey.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
