DESIGNING, DANCING & ICE SKATING with DANIELA
A very Merry Christmas and many blessings for the New Year to you all!
May we never take for-granted all that God has given us.
2019 has been one of the best years of my life so far. It started in the
right way, setting the tone for the year. We had friends visiting from
Mozambique and America before the end of 2018 so we celebrated New
Years Eve together. Just before midnight, we went outside to watch the
fireworks that we could see coming from the Waterfront. We then prayed
for the upcoming year and for Cape Town. The very next day we hiked up
Table Mountain! This was a first time for our visitors and I was the one
leading – which was a bit daunting. We only made one small wrong turn
and made it to the top victoriously! It became very cold and rained a bit
so we took the cable car down which was an experience in itself.
A few days later the Biblical Worldview Summit commenced. I have
done these camps for as long as I have been alive and they are always my
highlight of the year! Each camp is different and improves every year. I am looking forward to this coming
BWS 2020 where I will be helping with small group leadership and PT. In March I joined my Dad’s team
for the South Africa Mission. I helped with presenting Africa Christian Action presentations at schools and
conferences and handling book tables. It was so good to be apart of a superb team, serving others and learning.
This year I taught my first Beginner Watercolour Workshop! Having been taught watercolour from a young
age, I am enjoying being able to use it in my career!
I enjoyed hosting and taking around Cape Town some out of town friends from Germany, Mozambique,
America & South Africa. In my church, I felt a call to help with Sunday School, which has been so
rewarding! You learn so much from preparing the lessons and I have enjoyed getting to know the children.
It is also a joy to have two nephews close by! God has blessed me with wonderful Christian friends. I also
had the opportunity to go to Europe for a two week adventure. I met up with friends from the UK in
Amsterdam for a dance exchange and then went over to England to visit friends and do another dance
exchange event in Edinburgh. I loved exploring the castles and learning about various cultures and traditions!
I am very grateful for all the opportunities and lessons I experienced this year. Thank you all so much for all
your much needed love, prayers, & support. May God bless you richly! Lots of love, Daniela
