Goodbye Graduates

Term 2 of our internship is quickly coming to an end. As we’re finishing the term we’re also saying goodbye to our LaunchPad students. We’ve been with them for just over 10 weeks and even though we’re excited that they’re graduating, we’ll all miss our classes intensely. Though we won’t be seeing our students anymore, we’ll still be involved in the Basotho community.

Beginning June 2nd, all of the interns will be going to either Intabazwe or Khalengyoni for Relationship Evangelism once a week. We’re all excited, and not just for the opportunity to get to know local people better, but also because we’re immensely more prepared and comfortable now than when we had Relationship Evangelism the second week we were here. Instead of waiting for an interpreter to translate our “hello”s, we can carry on a basic Sesotho conversation on our own. Instead of awkward lulls, we’ll be asking non-stop genuine questions we would have been too shy to ask in the beginning.

This should prove to be a rewarding experience for everyone and I cannot wait to recount the stories I’m sure we’ll be collecting daily.

   It’s exciting to read about the growth and change that has happened in the hearts of the interns…which willl be multiplied into the hearts of South Africans.

   It seems like I just read the blog when all the interns just arrived, or the last class was leaving!
