Today we were on holy ground…potholey
ground that is. The (very) secondary road from Kimberley to Boshof and on to
Hertzogville was so bad Louise had to travel 60 kilometres per hour. Yes, what
a time for her to choose to drive! It really slowed us down, but all things
work together for good, right? The Archdeacon we had to meet in Welkom had an
early and long meeting…we got to his church at the same time.
Albert is a energetic young man with a
heart for the Lord and for people. He was so excited about our presentation and
immediately began to discuss possible dates. The thing is, we are beginning to
get very busy and we often have to ask folks to look further along in the
calendar! But that’s a good thing…
As we left Albert and were travelling along
the N-1 we turned on the radio and heard that the very same potholey road was
now closed due to demonstrations. Seriously? What were they protesting…the
potholes?
Louise wanted to drive straight through to
Cape Town today, but I pointed out that we are no longer spring chickens…30
years ago I wouldn’t have thought twice. So we called her sister and asked if she
knew of a good place along the road. She suggested a place close to Three
Sisters…named after three small mountains…and we called. Praise God for cell
phones! We got a room and settled in for the night.
Tomorrow we are homeward bound!
