After two days of travel, we safely arrived in South Africa on August 27.
One of the first things that struck me was how hilly the Durban and Pietermaritzburg areas are. I have no idea why, but I was expecting it to be flat for some reason. I am looking foward to discovering what other (less superficial) preconceptions I have of South Africa turn out to be false.
Our orientation sessions have been challenging us to disorient ourselves from our preconceptions and learn to challenge ourselves in new ways. I am already noticing a difference in my outlook on poverty, justice, and our gospel of the cross.
Peace be with you all!
