Driving on the left is still weird

Today was another eye-opening day in the townships. I went to Ntezuma, a township of 500,000 people just outside Durban. The size of this place was unbelieveable. You can almost see from one side of it to the other and if you picked it up and dropped back in Georgia it would immeidately be one of the largest cities in the state and even a larger city within the South. Again, the poverty was unbelievable. We spent the day working on people's homes. I was mostly at a house where we were putting a roof on (there has been only half of one for a while now) and replacing broken windows and a door. We got the roof done, played with kids, and were able to do a lot for these two single moms and their combined 5 kids. One of the scariest moments of the trip also took place when Andrew, one of our guys, fell through the half of the room that remained when we showed up this morning. He fell about nine feet after the roof caved, but thankfully his head eventually landed on the bed and he only had small cuts and a pretty big bruise on the back of his hip. He'll be sore but that's about all. The other memorable part of my day was a trip to a government building with a handicapped lady to get her welfare check. Teri (one of our leaders,the pastor of the church in the township and I took her to pick up her check and after getting the lady out of the car and into her wheelchair the security guard would not allow Teri and I into the building. So we waited outside in the car, that had the windows down (we didn't have the keys) while everyone in the township that receives a welfare check poured by on either side. It was without question the most stressful and nervoud 10 minutes I've had on the trip. I don't think we were in any real danger, but the people were very condensed, there was no one we knew within sight and we were getting stared at by everyone. I tried to keep my cool while calming down Teri as well. Thankfully we made it out fine. The last danger of the day was a near accident when our driver pulled into the right lane out of habit and we faced oncmoing traffic for a few seconds before we could get back over. The whole driving on the left thing contiues to feel weird, ever after all this time.
As far as the rest of the week- we'll be back on campus tomorrow and then Thrusday we are working in a church that has been turned into a refugee camp for those displaces by the xenaphobic attacks here in Durban. We are staying very busy but it's good!
Also, a sermon update, it looks like Barrett and I will be talking about the 2 Tim. verse about "Let no one look down on you becuase you are young..." and tying it in some with the story of Davids life as a young man. It's coming together but the situation is still intimidating.
Please continue to pray for safety for our team. Today was a wake-up call that lots can happen if we let our guard down or make poor choices. Also, just pray for energy. Doing all this manual labor has made us a pretty tired bunch around the clock. Thanks for the prayers- amazing that there is only 15 days left!
