It’s always good and important to go back through everything God has taught you in a certain season in your life to never forget these life lessons. I’ve taken the last few hours just thinking about my time in PE. Thinking about the amazing people I’ve met, the life-long friendships, and the great experiences I’ve had.
I got to thinking and this is what I’m going to miss most about the past ten months in Port Elizabeth:
Firehouse
Young Adult Coffee
Dancing with Leigh and the girls
Talks on the couch with Tashriek
Coffee with Bianca
Movies with Chere
Sam’s beach room and her 7 dogs
Picking up shells
Singing “Jabulani”
Late, late nights on mxit
Andrew’s funny expressions
Charlie’s encouragement
Quesadillas with Donna and playing at the park
Exploring and new adventures with Tami
Cheve always trying to pay for me
Worshiping in the very front at church
Climbing into bed with Jody’s parents
Baby Hannah and her cute laugh
Jody’s snoring
Gershwin and his seriousness; always telling God stories
Being called “Piet” by all my coloured friends
Coffee with Auntie Carol
This house
Jethro’s hugs
Playing at the park in Central
Dancing in my car with Nicita
Donna’s uniform that makes her look like a maid
Route
Kia and Muis (our dogs) and speaking Afrikaans to them
Cobus always falling asleep on the couch
Dave’s cell group
30 Seconds
Walking on the Pier late at night
Piet comes tomorrow morning, and we drive up to Joburg in exactly a week. I’m making the most of these final memories here.
truly love.

I love you!
Leah!!
I feel like I’m leaving PE as well!! Know that my heart and prayers are with you as you are about to make the transition! I would love to have coffee with you and hear your stories from the last year. Seriously, I’m tearing up a little. Love and miss you sweet friend 🙂

I love love love this post! You have definitely made some memories that will last you forever there in PE. I’m so happy for you. I am thrilled for what is coming up next for you! Love you!!!
Hello friend,
This is great! It’s weird because I feel like I should know all of those people and understand all of that stuff but I don’t because I haven’t been there for a year! That’s crazy!
I’m excited for your future. I don’t know Piet, but I just remember doing Beat the Drum in Somerset and watching George and Michelle do ministry together and to listen to her stories and how she met him, etc.. etc… you are going to be that with Piet! I will definitely be praying for safe travels and for your future in general.
LOVE YOU Leah!
LEAH! 🙂 ah wow i would have never thought that this is how i would have to catch up on your day-to-day life because i thought you would be in PE for so much longer. but i am absolutely THRILLED that you are so happy and living your life the way it should be. im going to be doing allot of checking up on you from this blog just so that i dont miss anything out
PS jody told me about the time she had to massage your back… shame… thats what you have to call a true friend 🙂
