Catching up Part 29

March 9, Saturday

Walked early – very cool this morning and took pictures of the entrance.

Moving day for the students and they are supposed to clean inside houses and to clear the weeds around the houses so there are no critters in the house or around it (especially snakes).

A group came in to stay at the mission so the students moved their lunch from the dining room to an outdoor picnic.

The students gave me some words to learn:
Peace- kgotso (Sesotho), vrede (Afrikaans), kagiso (Setswana), Paz (Portuguese), xolo (Xhosa and Zulu), ukuthula (Ndebele).
Please- kea kopa and ka kopo (Sesotho), asseblief (Afrikaans), tsweeswee (Setswana), Por Favor (Portuguese), ndiyacela (Xhosa) ngiyacela (Zulu and Ndebele)
Thank you- kea leboha (Sesotho), dankie (Afrikaans), kea leboga (Setswana), obrigado (Portuguese), enkosi (Xhosa), ngiyabonga (Zulu and Ndebele)
Greeting-dumelang (Sesotho and Setswana), hello, more or goeie middag (Afrikaans), ola' (Portuguese), mholo kunjani (Xhosa), sawubona (Zulu), salibonani (Ndebele).

Sunday March 10
We set off for the Soldiers of Christ meeting and worship later at Wrenchville Congregational Church.

Here are some of the students in front of the white house.

I was sorry to leave and will miss the students.  I headed back on the double decker bus and a different room at Sooffah Guesthouse but glad to get back.
