Sanibonani from Swaziland!
So much has happened since arriving here in Swaziland last Sunday. We have spent our first week learning about he basic cultural norms and seeing the different ministry opption that we have while we are here. Some ministries that exisist here in Swaziland include the Hope House (a place for terminaly ill patients to recieve houseing, treatment, and Christ’s love), numerous Care Points (safe places for orphans to receive two meals each day), a school, and the Timbutini church.
God has been teaching me many things about the people here. Some of the people here can speak english but we also have translators that work with us. When the translators aren’t arround we just do our best to communicate through our actions and expressions. It has been so rewarding to play with the children and just to love on them. The children are so hungry for affection and attention.
Spiritually I feel as though I am in a place like the calm before a storm. I am still not entierally sure what’s to come but I can see God prepareing and stretching us as a team and am excited to find out what’s next. Please continue to keep me and my team in your prayers!
