Today we took a tour of a local gold mine, which was really cool to see. The drive there may have been the most exciting part. Brian took us. He was running a little late, so we got an early morning tour of the residential streets of Welkom at about 45 mph. The actual mine tour was really interesting. We ate lunch with Brilliant. He is a local South African who knows Louis through a local school outreach. He is an incredible person who is truly seeking the heart of the Father. We were able to ask him all sorts of questions about the culture and life in South Africa. He is planning to go to school to become a nurse, lawyer, or accountant. Brilliant is very intelligent and wise. The Lord has blessed him with a wonderful mind.

Micah's aunt sent a package along with us to give to Brilliant and his sister. We gave those things to Brilliant yesterday. Brilliant was so thankful. This was the best part of our day today.

We finished the afternoon just hanging out downtown. After supper, we had an awesome discussion about faith, the Holy Spirit, and other things that were on our hearts. It was a great experience to sit and pick each others brains with questions we have been thinking about. Thank you all for keeping us in your prayers. God is doing great things is Welkom, South Africa!
