On Top of the World

I’m movin’ on up…up the mountain that is. The past few days have been a whirlwind as several of us have changed housing to make room for our changing Thrive Africa family. June and I have moved up the mountain a little ways to Arendskop Chalet. While this means we’ll now have to drive a few minutes to get to our main housing and offices, the chalet is really nice and the views are spectacular!

We’re so thankful for the mission base and ministry staff who helped us move. Especially Dave and Abram who were real troopers!! And you should have seen the giant farm tractor pulling the giant flatbed trailer up the steep, winding road – then backing it in the last part of the way. The driver did an amazing job!!

I’ve included some pictures of the drive, the house and the views in the slideshow on the left. One of the best features is a huge wrap-around porch overlooking the mountains and the wide-open fields. It’s a great place for morning devotions and coffee, reading a book, or catching some hot South African rays.

So for the past few days, I’ve enjoyed cleaning, decorating, arranging and re-arranging our new home. I pray you have a blessed Christmas and New Year!
