After years of planning and dreaming ,and now after almost two days of travel - I'm here in Lesotho, Africa. It is nine twenty nine pm here (eight hours ahead of San Antonio). I got in About an hour ago, took a shower, brushed my teeth and then settled in to write and let everyone know that I made it okay. It was 28 hours of travel to Joberg, South Africa, and then another 4 1/4 hours drive to Lesotho. The AIM missionary that I will stay with this 3 weeks, and who I will partner with in ministry, picked me up, which was such a blessing. Her name is Jo Fernandez. We did not leave Joberg right away. I got into Joberg around. 7 am. There were a few errands to run and a friends to see before we headed out. I met several other missionaries from other organizations. They were delightful.Saw beautiful trees and bushes there in Joberg in the residential areas and around town. Was impressed as we drove into the countryside that it is not that much unlike that flat planes, and rolling hills of south and central TX. Did see an ostrich farm or reserve or something, but otherwise mostly cows or goats. Jo says that most of the animals of any kind are in farms or reserves in South Africa; very little left in the wild.
Saw Maseru, Lesotho in the dark. It is larger than I realized, spread out over a bowl inside a ring of hills.It was this bowl of lights in the dark. Can't wait to see it in daylight .It was cool and plesant down in Joberg during the day, but got cold this evening here in Maseru. Has already been snowing in the mountains.This is their winter.
