One of the funniest moments on the trip.

One of the funniest moments in the trip was after we stopped at Harries pancakes in Graskop Lou gave all of us a piece of biltong. He told us to taste it and guess what meat it was. We all started to try to guess what it was. I thought it was chicken biltong. Caitlin, Louis, and Thandeka on the other hand were not enjoying it, Caitlin ate a small piece and wouldn’t proceed until Lou told us what it was. Eventually, he told us that it was actually a crocodile biltong! I think Lou and I were the only ones that enjoyed it. Caitlin bought wine gums to get rid of her taste, she really didn’t enjoy it…haha. 

Encountering God through the stars 

On the first night of the trip, I asked God to see shooting stars on this trip. It was the 20 August 2022 around 9 pm in Punda Maria. I had just finished preparing lunch for the next day with my food team and I got all my stuff to go shower. As I was walking to go shower I looked up at the stars and thought that they were beautiful. I looked down again and stepped a few steps and then the Lord said to me you can have an encounter with me now, stop and look up. I was wondering if this encounter is going to be me hearing God’s voice in an audible way because that’s one of the things I was believing Him for. But as soon as I obeyed, stopped, and looked up, a shooting star went! The Lord gave me my personal shooting star. He is so personal and loving. But before we came onto the trip I had said to the Lord I know you love me but show me that you love and I told Him I wanted to have an encounter with Him that would make Him more real to me. I truly felt the Love of God through this and it has definitely made Him more real to me, this is something I’ll never forget.
