Wow. It’s hard to believe our time in Timbutini has come to an end and we are now starting a new journey in Nsoko. There has been amazing times and hard times but I have enjoyed getting to know the people here and building relationships with them and blessing others by our presence in their lives.   My favorite times in Timbutini have been going to the carepoints and playing with the kids. I also enjoyed visiting Glady’s and her family. Going to town and seeing our friend’s from Wimpy’s and the market, were the best days in Timbutini. I loved getting to know...

We were traveling back from ministry in Manzini and we saw this man beating his dog. I’ve never seen it to this extent though. I’ve...

What is your favourite thing about TImbutini?   As our time here is ending and we are preparing to move to Nsoko next week I thought I would ask everyone what is their favourite thing about TImbutini. SO here it is:  Colleen: That we know people here and people know us. Shannon: Church. The atmosphere and everything about it with the singing and worship. When little kids sit on your lap and play with your jewelry. That nobody has a plan and are so chill about everything. Nikki: Tucker (our dog). Having the little kids sit on your lap. Nozipho, our translators, family....
