So, I have attempted to write this Blog thingy 2 other times already and neither have worked out. And now, I have kind of lost some motivation to retype once more. So, today was a good day!

And then Emily, another Swazinight but I do believe that I wont be spending too much time...

Last Thursday, like every other Thursday morning, we visited Eskhaleni Carepoint. This beatutiful morning was different though. It was our last visit, our last Thursday.

     The 20 or so teenage guys who you play soccer with every afternoon. They gave you a new name and accepted you even though your skin was white and you weren’t as good at soccer. How do you say goodbye to them?      The great grandmother who can’t walk a kilometer to the church because of her asthma. Your teammate bought her a hymnal so she could worship at home and she is forever thankful for it. How do you say goodbye to her?      The five year old who’s English is restricted to colors, numbers, and a few animals. He...
