My Trip to Namibia: Namibia Day 9, 10 &11

8th, 9th and 10th of September
The last couple days have been a whirlwind. I am starting to get accustom to the crazy time I need to wake up in the morning, something I haven’t done in awhile! I am also getting used to what is expected of me at FHS. I see the Lord is teaching me a lot through learning that I sometimes have to be dependent on others. I like to think of myself as a very independent person and I have realized through the course of being here that I have become dependant on a lot of people, the Greidanus’ to house me and help me with my living situation, the taxi drivers to know where they are going, Robert and David to walk with me places after dark. Its been a very humbling experience knowing that I can not always be in control like I would like to be.
Last night I got to go downtown with Robert, David and Tanya, a Jamaican missionary as well that we work with at FHS. It was nice to get out and have a relaxing time at a nice Pizza place in town. I was a little nervous though, getting there early and not knowing where exactly it was, it was dark by this point and it was a great example of how the Lord has shown me to rely on him. At that moment I moment is pray for the Lord to keep me safe. I know I may be over exaggerating, but he is showing me to trust him in everything. Like he says in his word he kept me out of harms way and David and Robert showed up and we were all finding our way together.
Today I got the opportunity to catch up on some emails and really sit down with the word and some coffee. It is nice not having the hectic-ness of life in the west. That has been another thing the Lord has been teaching me, learn to enjoy my time with him and do not rush through it. After that I got to go downtown and meet up with our Rehoboth friends, Hannah and Sarah and the woman they are staying with, Heidi! It was such a treat to see them and swap stories with eachother.
Tonight I am going to attempt to make dinner on my own for my first time since I have been here (we will see how this goes!) and catch up on some reading before heading off to church in the am with Zeka, Anita (my new Namibian friends!) I will get to experience their church tomorrow starting at 8:45 and ending at 12 in the Oshiwamgo language, should be a treat!
Please just continue to keep me in your prayers with getting adjusted to this new lifestyle its still very hard for me and I want to know how I should proclaim the Lord’s glory without trying to convert people into my way of comfortability. Thanks so much for all of your support and prayers, you have no idea how much I appreciate them!
