So Wednesday we woke up at around 5:30 to go to a school called Aurora. On the way we stopped by the principals office to pick up them and few other people. We pilled in the back of a truck. It was a crazy. Aurora is a Christian based boarding school that consists of kids from "squater" camps. Squater camps are basically tin shacks about 10x10 that a family lives in. They do everything in that shack but Aurora takes kids out of that area for Monday - Friday and gives them a place to stay and an education. Today we taught them English and then after school we started a soccer team and had practice and such. It was so great. The kids were so thankful to have us and are ready for us to come back next week. We will be going every Wednesday to help out from 7 til about 4:30...yeah it'll be a long day.
Today was especially long because after Aurora we instead of going to bible study went on a homeless ministry outreach. We basically had about four cars that followed a truck full of soup and bread. We went all around downtown Jo'Burg and passed out cups of soup and bread. It was such hard thing but in the same sense it was also very humbling to be on there level and just serve them. To me seeing how they looked after each other and I felt as though they would also look after me. It was great. Anyways that was from 5:30 til 10:30 so I had a super long day and on the fact I am really sick so I am super drained.
Pray for strength and soaking of the Word on my heart. I miss everyone and love you guys...Til next time, Jack
