Every Tribe & Nation

While I was listening to Ray the other day, it just hit me about how every tribe and nation will be present in Heaven. It is an easy thing to read, but it is a lot easier for me to understand since I have seen many different people and cultures here in Africa. It amazes me that there are eleven different official languages in South Africa. And, most kids in Lesotho know English and Sesotho languages pretty well. Can you imagine what it will sound like in Heaven? Everyone will be praising God in their own languages and cultural traditions. I have a feeling that we will be in awe of the way that God created us, each individually His!!

I have truly been blessed to be here at Beautiful Gate! I have had the opportunity to meet Basotho, Australians, Canadians, Americans, Dutch, Swedish, South African, Zambians, Zimbabweans......and the list goes on and on. It has been really fun for me to hear their dialects and you really have to be "quick on your feet" with the different sayings and vocabulary.

Thank you again for all of you who are praying for us. We still do not have our car yet (I won't expand on that) and our container shipment has been delayed again. We expect the container to arrive in Cape Town on June 8 (for now). I am sure that someday we will look back on this "waiting time" and see how/why God made us go through this time. Maybe it was to just teach me patience, or maybe He is keeping us from something terrible. (I like the first option better). Do you think it would help to tell God that I have become a more patient man? Would that help the car to be released?

Also, thank you for all your prayers of support and love. We can really feel them. Life is definitely different here. It is our prayer that the Lord will continue to bless each of you with all that you are in need of.
