So, Tuesday, August 11 I was due in Johannesburg from Accra, Ghana...So also were Jay and Sarah Gerhart who I was planning to visit...they were coming from a month long furlough in the US...ironic, eh? And also, Brandon was to come in that morning, so we were all to meet within the span of a couple of hours...and amazingly, we did!!! One of the team members that works with Jay and Sarah met us at the airport and drove us all to their home (about 45 minutes away). I had an all night flight, so did Jay and Sarah, so when we arrived we all just settled in....Brandon and I got caught up on his trip to Kenya. Jay and Sarah have 3 boys, Thomas 16, Graham 14, and Samuel 9, and they all go to school just down the block from their home...
The Gerharts live in a very comfortable home, but as is the case in all places in Johannesburg, crime is a very real problem...all the homes are surrounded by walls with gates and electric fences and all homes are equipped with alarm systems and bars on the windows...it's just a way of life in Jo'burg...
