Turns out the
things that happen here in an average week have become our "new normal,” and so
since these things don’t surprise us as much anymore, we have been lacking the ambition
to write about them! Eeek, we are the "sorryest".
A significant part of “normal” life here is crime. In the last 5 days my sister Char and her new
husband Mawande had their place broken into and their copper piping was stolen
so they had no water when they woke up Sunday morning.
On Tuesday morning when we arrived early for our pastors
training morning, we found one of our windows at Beautiful Gate (the ministry we rent space from) had been smashed
and the office broken into during the night.
On Wednesday morning we found out one of our 4 hair salons
that we have built for our new small business students was broken into and her
hot water tank, chairs and various items were stolen.
Yesterday night a local business in our small suburb we live
in was broken into and robbed.
And as you might have read on our Hope Africa: Mike &
Marie-Eve Facebook page, the Pastor I work with, Bishop Nyanga was robbed at
gun point last month, as he pulled into his driveway in broad day light. This has been a hard time for him and his
family who was also with him during this incident. Please continue to pray for them.
