Harare and Pretoria

i don't remember the last thing that i wrote, but i think maybe i was in Blantyre. well we made it to Harare and are thoroughly enjoying it here. it is freezing but the company is warm and inviting. Sean, Kim and Ethan are taking very good care of us. Last night we watched mcgyver and ate pizza. it was really great! i had never seen that show and thought it funny i watched my first episode in africa! sean and kim are very open to us and have been very patient as we have asked many questions about missions and life. both iris and i are trying to figure out where God would lead us next and they are been very helpful.
learning things everywhere i go. Mozambique border was horrible and my only comfort is that God says vengence is His. they refused to give us a transit visa and changed our info so it looked as if we were staying longer than we were. they did all this because they wanted us to pay $70 instead of $30. of course we were very angry and we kept asking why. the woman was very rude, refusing to answer our questions. we waited almost 2 hrs to get our visas. the other passengers on the bus were very upset with us.
zimbabwe was amazing though! they were so nice and welcoming :) it's been that way since we crossed the border.
thanking God for safe travels thus far and all His provisions. leaving tomorrow for Pretoria around 2pm. going to miss Kim and Sean's company and Ethan as well. praying God will bless them for their kindness.
missing everyone and excited about the next 17 days that are left of my trip. also excited about returning to the US and the plans God has for me there. fearful of being effected by culture when i return and also of losing my first love... when you pray remember me in these ways
love you guys!
