In Butta Buthe

I have finally made it back to Africa or the Motherland as we call it. I can clearly feel this is where I belong.  It seems like home to me. I can feel the presence of God in this place. I am not here by accident and I know god has placed me here for a purpose. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to serve in Butha Butte, Lesotho.
 Butha Butte is not what I had imagined. It is a small town but very progressive.  I am walking everywhere but pray that I will be able to afford a car soon. The people have been friendly and  welcoming. I am settled in an apartment complex but do not know my neighbors. They are very quiet people.  The complex has a watchdog which I have just learned not to fear. When I arrived at the complex yesterday , the dog immediately growled at me but I was so tired I stood my ground and she ran. Today she saw me and acted very friendly. I thank God for the little blessings also.
 I have been meeting people as I walk and it have given me the opportunity to pray for those who are hurting and in despair. I will start working in the church this week and have been assigned to work with the singles. There are many young widows in the church who need to know that God has not forgotten them.
 Please pray that the Lord will continue to strengthen me as I serve in this new place.
