We are very surprised at the quality of buildings and are extremely thankful for our beautiful churches, stores, and homes.

Langra is a township and a poorer area. It is definitely not the poorest area we have seen. There are also very, very beautiful expensive homes in Cape Town.

Yes, there are many churches in Cape Town and mosques and synagogues. Both the Dutch and the British settled here so Christian Reform and Church of England are popular.

Being rich does not make you happy. There are happy rich people and sad rich people. There are happy poor people and sad poor people.

Many of the churches they have are similar to Listowel--Christian Reform, Catholic etc....I even saw a Salvation Army (our church). We have seen synagogues and mosques. So, basically yes. However, some cultural things definitely change their way of looking at thing...like the importance of animals and ancestors.

They were fun and easy. They didn't try to teach us anything tricky.

We are looking at your photos and we are grateful that we have a church that is not rusty and that the walls are not falling down.

Yes, there are a lot of churches In Africa. This Sunday we were at Regina Mundi church in Soweto. It was a refuge for students in 1976 when They were standing up for their right to good schools.
