Africa Day 9: The Sea Swallowed the Sun

Well today was a great day! I had a great breakfast and talked with a new friend named Quin. He is also a student pastor here in SA and I met him a year ago. Then he had 13 students and last night he told me in a year they have grown into 120 students. I was soaking in his ideas and love for God. They encourage their students to do a 30 second prayer before entering school. They were doing it in a classroom but the whole school began to participate and it was hard to get 1200 students into a 45 student sized-room. AMAZING! After breakfast we had a walk through of our venue. I am excited about Passion Cape Town tomorrow at 7:00 Pm which will be 1:00 PM for you. We went to the waterfront for lunch and i had the most amazing calamari ever. We then went shopping at the market. I bought an African drum for the kids, a Zulu spear, and a painting of the townships here. After the market we went to Camps Bay which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful places in the world! You have the rock mountains on one side and the ocean on the other...it is breath taking. We also ate the most amazing ice cream. No joke, it was the best ice cream I have ever had. The shop was named Mozart. We think climbed out on the rocks and sat down and watched the sun set. It was like the sea swallowed the sun. It was beautiful and I so wished Carrie could have been next to me. Love I promise i will bring you here some day and we will eat ice cream on the rocks and watch the sun set. It will be beautiful but not as beautiful as you! My kids started school today. Brycen started kindergarten and Regan Pre-K 4. My heart broke that I was not there. I was able to get in after the venue in time to skype them before they left. Regan was so excited that she woke up at 6:00 AM. Where have my little babies gone. I am ready to come home. I am so full right now, God is doing amazing things here in SA! I will see most of you Sunday at church.

Cheers
Mark
