Good Times with Lance at the Cape Argus

Today the largest bike race in the world took place in Cape Town (called the Cape Argus). 38,000 bikers went on a 107 km (66.5 mile) ride around the Cape Peninsula. Our good friend Lance Armstrong was in the race, so we got up at 5:30am to cheer him on. Our even better friend DeWet was also in the race, so he's really the one we wanted to cheer on. It was worth the early morning!

The first sunrise I've gotten up for since we've been here... It was beautiful.

This was the group Lance was in... we couldn't tell exactly which one he is, but we can say we were there!!

Me with 3 of our SBS students... it was early, but we had a good time!

Susan's Trip to Swaziland

Here are a few pictures from my recent teaching trip to Swaziland. I went to teach on the book of Hebrews in the School of Biblical Studies 1 that is running there. I loved my time there, getting to know the students and reconnecting with staff from Muizenberg who are running the school. Swaziland is a truly beautiful country and I am so blessed to have been able to spend 2 and 1/2 days there!

We visited the fruit market in downtown Mbabane, the closest town to the YWAM base and the capital of Swaziland.

This is the guest house that I stayed in on the YWAM base.

This is the road to the base... it gets a little tricky in the rain.

Teaching away...

The students and staff of the SBS 1... a great group!

The view from the base... amazing!
