Day 4- Wednesday- May 16, 2012


Today was day one of two full days in Durban.  Jolin and I started out the day with a breakfast of cereal, fruit and juice in our host home.  During the day the team worked on the church doing various tasks such as moving items, scraping, painting, building items and sweeping.  For lunch we had a South African meal called Bunny Chow.  Bunny Chow consists of a type of bread bowl from a loaf of bread with potatoes, lamb, and curry together in the bread.  If you know me, I struggle with having regular table pepper on my food.  So this was a struggle for me to eat the Bunny Chow, but I did!  On the side we had more curry to dip the bread bowl in, a salad of carrots and onions, and a delicious dessert.  After lunch we prepared for the evening’s service at the church.  Our first service as a team in South Africa consisted of introductions, songs, a skit, and a terrific message on Ephesians 5:1-2 from Tyler.  There was some fellowship afterwards where I met some of the members of the church and the other host parents.  Jolin and I went back to our host home where we had tea, biscuits, and fellowship with our family before heading off to bed.  This is what Bunny Chow looks like:
