Sunday at Dzanani

This morning we drove to the congregation at Dzanani for bible class and worship.  The kids had not been to Venda yet so they had a lot of fun seeing all of the sights.  No monkey sightings, much to their chagrin, but they did get to see cows walking along the side of the road and lots of goats.  We stopped along the way to take photos and look over the edge of this cliff at the old road:

This is the view down below where the old road used to run.  So very thankful for the new road...the lovely paved and safe road.

They do not have a bible class for children at Dzanani so the morning was long for the kids, but they did very well.  James preached the lesson and I thought did a great job with the translator.  Probably the highlight of the morning for the kids was watching out the window as 3 cows walked past. On the way home a monkey ran across the road in front of us, but of course all of the kids missed it.

We had a lazy afternoon and evening, then gathered to sing after dinner.  Once we put the kids in bed I went out for some practice driving with Joel.  Getting used to driving on the left side isn't the biggest challenge here.  Automatic transmissions are not common, so we're having to re-learn how to drive a manual.  AND drive on the left side...on roads that are not clearly marked and are shared by cattle and pedestrians.  I'm getting better at the manual and did ok in town...at night with no traffic.  I'll get there eventually.



And a bonus picture from yesterday.  The girls were helping me make pizzas while the boys continued the monkey stakeout.
