Why God blessed us with a large house with 3 extra bedrooms....



For the past 4 days we have been blessed to offer accommodation to 2 single moms and their grown children while they visit South Africa for the 2010 World Cup Soccer Tournament. A Swedish friend of Nathan's cousin called last week and asked if we had room for her friends to stay on their way from Cape Town up to Port Elizabeth. A quick glance at the schedule proved that God always has perfect timing! The YFC Buyela Team from Johannesburg is in town already, but a conference center offered to let them stay all together for those days, so... Yes, we had room, and 4 of the YFC team only move in on Friday!!
Marie & her son John, and Susanne & her daughter were a blessing as they cooked good food for us and we cheered for the Netherlands (Holland) in Tuesday's match! They are a little more 'hard core' fans than we, but Nathan and I made sure we had the right color shirts on to look the part. We put them on the bus yesterday afternoon, and will be watching the semi-final game in Port Elizabeth... looking for their large Swedish flag!

Watch for the next posts of the YFC Buyela team staying for another 2 1/2 weeks, and then a team of 8 with Athletes In Action from Holland... now you also know why God blessed us with a large house with 3 extra bedrooms!
