This week along with teacher Rachel we completed the series of follow up sewing classes for the ladies out at Sweet Home Farms. This time, instead of sandwiches we were treated to one of Christina's delicious meals, chicken, white cornmeal and a mixture of spiced peas, corn and carrots She supervised this as she worked in the class. The week before I noticed Christina had fruit and she said how she noted I always served fruit to them. With this meal we had serviettes and again she she said she learned this from our class. Then she asked me about a cake I made and the fruit sauce I served them. "I always remember that sauce," she said. I realized that although we did not have much conversation when she was with us, she watched all I did and that the learning is exactly as God impressed on my heart early on. It is who I am that is the biggest part of this ministry here. A sobering thought but I love being here.
This blog is about the work Wendy Ryan does with women who live with HIV and AIDS in cape Town, South Africa and her experiences with them and the country.
