Traveling!

After 20 hours on a plane and 13 hours touring the sights of London, we are finally in Cape Town. We have arrived. The snow is behind us and South Africa ahead!



While in London we were able to see where the work of the Army began at the Blind Beggar, as well as see several statues recognizing the work of our Founder, William Booth. (Notice that Major Baker and Captain Shull have the pose down fairly well).

And thanks to the wonderful hospitality of Majors Andrew and Sheila Dunkinson, we were able to have a wonderful meal before seeing several famous sights in London such as Big Ben, The Tower of London, Westminster Abby, and the London Eye. We were also privileged to visit the International Headquarters of The Salvation Army.




Upon arrival in South Africa we were taken to the West Cape DHQ where we met the Divisional Staff and were given information about the division. While getting ready to leave the DHQ for the Shoenstatt Conference center where we’re staying, we discovered one of our vehicles batteries had died. Some of us offered to help push – the adventure begins!

We’re all safe and sound at the Schoenstatt Conference Center now, preparing for our first day out in the townships and Corps of South Africa. We’re tired but ready to serve!
