The phone rang with an unexpected call... Nathan's mommy (Lorraine - "Lolly") was coming to Knysna from Cape Town with her cousin for Easter!
Each day we packed a nice lunch, but the beaches were windy.
We didn't last long on the beach before migrating to the combi. But Barnabas was not going to leave the beach and protested with a "sit in", refusing to come.
Maike, Chris and Ruben (our German and Netherland volunteers mentioned last month) were feeling a bit of cabin fever, so a trip to the river was organized for a canoe ride... again the wind was too strong, so they opted to rent a small boat and motor up to the end. We enjoyed another nice picnic in the car while they had fun!
Wednesday we left Lolly at home to enjoy a peaceful day of reading while we took Maike to the Klein Karoo to explore the Cango Caves (the boys went last August) and all of them rode the ostriches this time. It has been very cold and night and sure enough there is snow on those mountains!
Nathan left with the boys and Reggie (YFC staff) at the crack of dawn Friday morning for the Mighty Men Conference, so I came home from the office early to keep Lolly company while she watched the "Royal Wedding". From 9am - 3pm we were glued to the TV... and I finished a stained glass window (using crayon shavings melted between wax paper) for her to take to commemorate her Easter with us.
Rejoice!!!
Christ is risen!
And that same power resides in us through the Holy Spirit!
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask of imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen" Ephesians 3:20-21
