Johannesburg


We arrived safely. God was gracious through Customs etc. Those of you who participated in Unity Camp will appreciate what happened while in the parking lot were met the van from the Game Lodge. I notice a guy nearby watching us. We had piled our luggage together and the ladies were talking while I was watching for the van a little ways off near the street. Remember the giant Soccer ball? I called to Elaine and pointed to my eye. She also saw the single individual, and positioned herself to keep an eye on him and the luggage. When the van arrived, he stepped in to ‘help’. We were able to control the situation and not lose a laptop, violin, or any of the other dozen or so pieces of luggage. After getting into the van, we thanked God for His protection, and one of the ladies stated he was only trying get a tip. I added or a piece of luggage and driver laughed aloud, I then asked him if I was lying. He said no and we thanked the people that brought us through Unity Camp Training.
The battle has begun.
