Director to finish up final preperations for the Youth Leadership Training Seminar to be held the next day. On Saturday we arrived in Port Shepstone for the KZN South Training Seminar and I have to say the drive there was so beautiful. It was along the coast and the ocean was so green and beautiful! Then the seminar just added to it. It was a great seminar! The people were taking notes and they were so into what was being said. Some of them wanted our notes and everything!On Sunday we preached at the Youth Directors church and we had a very great service. There were 15 people who received salvation.
After this we began our journey down to East London for another Youth Leadership Training Seminar. Along the way we stopped at the Nelson Mandela Museum and we were able to learn about some of the History of South Africa and the apartheid.
In East London the seminar also went very great! It was funny because Sarah and I perform a skit called "Dumb as a stick" and in it I pretend like I am a wrestler and I have to pick 
someone out from the crowd to pick up spin around and put on the ground. The girls there were in skirts or were too big so I asked this guy if I could use him (the one in the middle of the pic). LOL. It was so funny! He didn't think I could pick him up and he said it was the first time in his life a girl had ever picked him up. When we performed the skit everyone was laughing. So anyway we built great relationships there and are really excited about what God is doing in Eastern Cape. On Sunday we preached there at the District Secretary's church in East London. It felt like we were in America! They were singing songs that I sung at Oasis and they were jumping! It was so refreshing! At the end 3 people received salvation and the presence of God was so thick it was amazing!
We then left East London and headed to Capetown. This was probably the best part about the trip as far as seeing sights goes. We stopped at PE (Port Elizabeth) and it was sooo beautiful! It was like we were in America except even more beautiful then Florida.
We spent one day in Port Elizabeth and then we drove to Tsitsikamma National Park at Stormy River. This was so awesome!! We went and hiked a trail to a waterfall that was 5.2 miles. The cool thing about this was that 
on the right was the forest and on the left was the ocean. As we looked out in the ocean we were able to see about 20 dolphins swimming! I was jumping up and down like a little kid! Also, along this hiking trail we met a lady from Germany who was in SA by herself and she was hitch-hiking her way across the country. We found out that she was atheist, she said she guesses she's too rational. So we actually were able to spend sometime with her and showed her love and also had the opportunity to share our faith. We pray someone water's the seeds that were sown. The next day we headed to Capetown where we were to stay until heading back home. That was nice to be in one place for a week. We were also blessed to be able to stay with Dr. Greg and Emily Johns. Emily became our mother for a week and it was very nice. They are so great!
Thursday August 5th we preached at Cape Theological Seminary's chapel and it was nice to meet all the students and staff there. This whole week we were able to spend time with friends that I made while I was here in 2008 and that was one of the best parts!
We finished the week by having another youth leadership training seminar which went tremendous as well! And we preached on Sunday at the District President's church. This was such an amazing church service! The presence of God was so thick in that place! The worship was like prophetic worship and oh it was amazing! It was as if you were right there in the throne room of God. Several people came to the altar at the end and their lives were transformed.
We praise God for this trip!
