  People are people no matter where you go. Kids play and fight and aren’t good at sharing. Boys play sports. Girls flirt and do those girlie things that they do… Men work to provide for their families and women love. Mothers love…   Twice a week part of my team goes to the Hope House to spend time with people there that are sick with many different diseases. Our goal: to shine Jesus’ light all over that place and help bring life and love to them every time we go. Tori (my partner in crime) and I visit the same people every week and have seen God work...

                  There are many awesome things that we have been able to do here in Swaziland over the past month and a half. Even the smallest acts of God’s love are significant and important, but amidst all of these “good things” I found myself longing to do and give more.                 I am not exactly sure how you would define success when setting out on a mission trip. The mission is to bring God’s love...

              I still can’t get over the fact that I’m in Africa, let alone have been here for a month and a half already. This is officially the half way point in our trip and it’s still going by so fast. At first 3 months sounds like a long time, maybe even a little overwhelming since this is my first overseas mission trip. Because this trip is about half way over, I figured I could give a little synopsis of what I’ve been learning thus far....

The last couple of weeks some of my teammates and I have been getting to know some of the guys who play soccer a couple minutes walk from our homestead. It’s been extremely fun getting to know all their names and to see them daily. We look forward to going to see them every day. On Friday mornings we go to their school and do devotions.
