Back from Botswans late this afternoon....... We're exhausted, but our time there was very special working with some of the most spiritual people I have ever met. We went there to meet with the Church's Public Affairs director for Botswana, Leonard Thebe, as well as several other Church leaders there to discuss some of their needs and issues, including the need to develop better relations with government and community leaders, and some possible ideas on how to accomplish that. Botswana is small in population..... About one million. The country has perhaps the most stable democracy in Africa, and their Capitol, Gabarone, is very progressive. In many parts of the city, you'd think you were in a very nice mid-size city in the USA. One little side note of interest...... A large group of monkeys ran out in front of us while driving, and later when we met at the chapel, they had just chased a pack of about 25 monkeys out of the building. Just another day in Africa!!!
