I am safe and sound in Cape Town with my host family. They are the sweetest. Renna and I are staying with them. We are supposed to be moved out and at the Bible Institute by the end of this week on Saturday. But they invited us to come back to their house for Easter Sunday! I love them already. Paul and Corinne are the parents…Paul is hilarious and calls us his daughters. Corinne is a seamstress and incredibly sweet. Then there’s their two boys..Jordan, 13, and Luke, 8. They call us their sisters and are giving up their rooms so we could be with them. Finally, there’s the smallest member of the family! Parker, the 1 year old baby girl :) She follows Paul around everywhere and whenever she can’t see him she just shakes her head and says, “no no..” over and over again. It’s adorable. On Sunday, they took us to church with them and then to a market on the beach in the late afternoon. They told us all about how they go there every single Sunday and all the other family outings they have. Ren commented how great it was that they spent so much time together. Corinne simply said, “We love each other’s company.” It made me think of my family. I miss all of you and am counting down the days until we see each other!
