Hey guys,
We’re going to try to keep you updated as much as possible!!! We are safely in Cape Town and enjoying the weather and scenery here. Today we did an awesome hike! Tomorrow we are land rover hunting and praying for a good one! Loving the people and culture here so far.
Here are Aaron’s thoughts as he reflects on the past few days:
Pen in hand. Mind is blank. So, where to begin? One does usually begin at the beginning, but where does that beginning begin? Was it when we touched the earth in Cape Town, or was it when we boarded the plane in Newark? When I hopped a bus to Dayton, OH after an emotional farewell to my family? Perhaps it was more than two years past, as I sat reading an email from a stranger. My eyes saw words, but my heart heard adventure calling….
And so it was, that I began this journey a much younger man. Now, even as I write, we are readying ourselves to climb a mountain here at the cape, just as our spirits have been readying to climb for years to come. We are ready.
