I live in a hut in Africa, with a thatched roof and all it’s glory. I played with preschool children today but didn’t have a conversation with them because we don’t speak the same language. I came home to a cow being butchered on the ground by our outdoor showers, the cow died while in child birth. The smell of the butchered dead cow is ripe and still lingering in the evening air. I cleaned the outhouse today with bleach water and a broom hoping to eliminate some of the stench, but we all know it won’t be long until the heat of the day brings back the ripe smell of poop. I...

It seems like a whirlwind but we made it to Swaziland after long travel, months of preparation, prayers and some anxiety.  We are still in that stage where honestly anything can happen and that’s exciting.    Throughout the past few trips I have led I have learned so much about the power that I have, specifically about the power I have to speak life into things.  I have the ability to see things as they are and except them and speak about them as they are.  Or I have the authority to see things through God’s eyes and speak life into things.  Throughout so...

This past week has been so long but short at the same time. At training camp I was so anxious to just be in Swazi already but God did so much in my heart and life while I was there that I am glad we were able to be there. I never thought that I would feel this way about God or experience Him in such an intimate way. The plane ride was funny in many ways especially sitting next to Dauna and the crazy lady but it went much faster than I anticipated. When we got off the plane and touched the ground of South Africa it was nothing as I had expected. We stayed in an amazing hotel met out contact...

I’m at the mall in Manzini, Swaziland right now. Michelle and I were just walking around, in and out of stores just looking around. We stopped in ShopRite (A local grocery store) and bought a few drinks, including 2 cans of very refreshing Mountain Dew. After purchasing them we reminded one another of the training session we had the day we arrived in Swazi, on Tuesday. At the session we were taught cultural norms in Swazi; No eating in public; No burping in public; Giving and receiving with your right hand only. So Michelle and I then had to discuss whether or not drinking our...
