We spent the second week of our trip to SA in the Drakensberg Mountains! We had a retreat with our partner organization, Resonate Global Missions. The mountians were so beautiful! God is so Amazing! Cathedral Peak Hotel was nestled in the valley with mountains on every side. It was a wonderful, relaxing, fun vacation!
The drive to through the mountains to the hotel was far from boring. It was interesting to see a different part of Africa.
On the way, we stopped for lunch at a hotel in an old farm house. Makai thought it was fun to hide in the basket and surprise us!
Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
Matthew 17:20
It was fun to see the different deer that roamed free around the hotel.
Makai and his new friend.
My dad, Luka, and I went 4 wheeling through the mountains! It was the funnest, most beautiful quad ride I have ever done!
And horse riding! Makai was so cute and so proud riding his horse by himself.
We went on several hikes to waterfalls and rock paintings.
Hike to Doreen Falls and bushmen paintings!
I love waterfalls!
Horse ride through the valley.
We were accompanied by a nice British couple. It was great to get to know them during the ride.
(My favorite part of the ride was shouting in the middle of the valley and hearing the echo!)
The group of missionary teens at the retreat. It's amazing how fast missionary kids become good friends!
The Ribbens! Missionary friends since the beginning!
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring the good news, who bring good tidings, who proclaim peace, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
Isaiah 52:7
Until next time South Africa!
"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," declares the LORD, who has compassion on you.
Isaish 54:10
