Round the Cape and Return Home

We have safely arrived back in Jos all refreshed and ready to work again.

Cape Town, South Africa will go down in the Mitchell History as one of the best vacations ever! Why you ask?
-beautiful beaches
-German chocolate
-real movie theaters and malls
-real grocery stores with overwhelming selection (I actually got teary-eyed)
-picturesque mountains
-great hiking
-all the cheese, milk, and ethnic food you want
-fantastic dining at budget prices
-nice cool climate
-wonderful family time
-sleep that isn't interrupted by guards tromping around outside your window, occasional gunshots, and Muslim prayer calls and Christian church services over loudspeakers throughout the night

We are now getting ready for the annual SIM missionary conference. It will be a time of great encouragement, teaching, and fellowship with the other missionaries in Jos. Upon its completion we will begin our last semester in Nigeria.

One of the last things we did in Cape Town was to go to Cape of Good Hope. It was amazing to stand on the point where ships have struggled to round on this major trading route. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Looks like you guys had a blast. I miss you all and I can't wait until you get back in this country! Or maybe I can sneak my way back over there?!
