We finally arrived in Cape Town yesterday morning! The preceding 24 hours had held a crazy mix of questions:
- Would our visas would be ready?
- Could our flights be re-booked?
- Did we have anyone to collect our passports in London between 11-12 on Tuesday?
- Would the embassy allow someone to collect them for us?
Thanks to some incredible timing, a lot of prayer and our friend (and hero!) Jonathan, our passports (complete with 11 month visas) were in our hands 5 minutes before we had to check in!
(ps. notice (below) how the embassy are awaiting a ‘Swiss’ police report from the Swedish police!!)

I går morse, kl 10.00, lokal tid, landade vi i Kapstaden, Sydafrika. Några av er vet att vi hade strul med att få visumen i tid. Som tur var erbjöd sig vår vän, Jonathan, som bor i strax utanför London att åka till Sydafrikanska Ambassaden och hämta de rykande färskt färdiga visumen åt oss (samt pass!) och kom sen och mötte oss på flygplatsen. Vi utnämner härmed Jonathan till Veckans Hjälte 🙂 Läste precis på fotot nedan att min nationalitet är SWISS och inte SWEDISH? Ehh, va? Hur hände detta?

Glad to hear last night at Nathan and Ruth’s that you had arrived safely. I have concluded that 11th hour timings are evidence that we are right in the centre of God’s will.
Blessings both. Thinking of you and praying for you.

Hi friends, great to hear from you!
It has taken a while for it to feel real that we’re here, but so glad we are.
We’re staying with friends right now while we try and figure out a place to live, and a car.
