When I think of Africa “hilly and mountainous” are not words that naturally come to my mind. But here the hills and the mountains are what make up the beautiful background I am blessed to see everywhere I look. I love it. I see God’s creativity in every direction. It humbles me looking at all the natural beauty, no decorations or fronts, it is just Swaziland in her own naked beauty. One of my favorite little things so far is at night when I go out to brush my teeth and wash my face. As I do those simple tasks I do so under the huge moon and the bright stars! it is a sight you hardly see in America. God is captivating my heart with the scenery and I hope that never fades throughout this trip!
The people are so loving! I kinda knew that coming in but it is one thing knowing that and another thing to actually feel that. I feeling much love of when all the little children are running up wanting ME to hold them or when the older women want ME to come to the parties they are hosting or to come visit them. God has been showing me through these Swazi people that that is exactly how he loves me, constantly inviting me to do things with him and always running to me wanting to love Him. I cannot wait to see what is in store! All I want to do is feel his blessings and glory!!
