Beauty

There is so much beauty here in South Africa. I wish there was a way to share it other than through words and pictures. Here are a few of the things I think are beautiful here in South Africa:

• Sunsets
• City lights at night
• Babies laughing
• Children smiling
• Kids yelling "Another one!" when I've run out of books to read.
• Hearing kids sing Jesus songs I taught them
• Watching older brothers take care of younger siblings
• Purple trees in the Spring
• Hearing children chant "Tee-ja Amba, Tee-ja Amba" (teacher Amber)
• Hugs from 60 kids all at once
• Lightning shows that rival fireworks
• Moms with babies on their backs
• Hearing 6 different languages/accents in one prayer meeting

I could go on and on. This place is truly beautiful. I hope some of the stories and pictures I have shown reflect a little of the beauty of South Africa.
