Yes, we took that picture... That lion, along with about 6 others, was sitting about 10 feet away from our car as we drove through Krugersdorp Game Reserve today. It's just a small game reserve right outside of Joburg, but these Midwestern Americans were pretty impressed! Jake finally believes we are in "Souf Acrifa" now because he got to see all of those animals today! :)We drove through the park in about 3 1/2 hours and saw lions, rhinos, giraffes, wildebeest, impalas, gazelles, ostriches, zebras, an eland, and many other animals. We probably took about 100 pictures, but unfortunately can't put them all up here. If you'd like more, just drop us an e-mail and we'd be happy to send some to you. We may also post a few more here in a few days, you'll have to check back and see!
Getting out and seeing all of the beauty in God's creation was more like an act of worship than safari today. He has just created such diversity and beauty in nature, and to think that it's just a shadow of his greatness... what a mighty God we serve! He has blessed us all with so much on this earth, and gave our family the blessing of being able to see a little more of his masterpiece today.
In other news, yesterday Jeremy completed his first week of work. There are five people in his office, two from South Africa, two from the U.S. (although Jeremy's boss has been a missionary in Africa for over 20 years), and one person from Mozambique. However, everything is going great so far and the office is operating like one big happy family. That is definitely an answer to prayer, praise God!
This coming week, our search for a car will need to start heating up. Please pray that we can find a car that meets our needs on our very tight budget. We know that you all will be praying and the Lord will work everything out somehow, so we are at peace about it. Thank you for your prayers and may God bless you, we will be updating you again soon!
Until next time,
Jeremy, Tricia & Jake
