Wow! Another week in Swaziland has passed and God has been working in all of our lives here. We have finally adjusted to this culture here. From going to  carepoints to the hospital to other ministries we have learned a lot. Being in Swaziland has taught me so much about depending and trusting God in everything. Without him here we would be totally lost and miserable. Seeing the kids faces when we go to the carepoints and play with them, breaks my heart with love and I love being around them. They are always so happy and they hardly have anything. I love it so much when they jump all...

 Yesterday we told the kumby driver to meet us at the hospital at 3óçlock’. Some of us were at a care point, some of us were at Hope House and just a few of us were at the hospital with our tanslaters, Nasepo and Nofondue.  When we were done at the hospital it was a little after 2 so a couple of us went down to the mall but some had to stay to meet the kumby, Nasepo, Nofondue, Natilie, Karli and me. It is very hot outside, Karli and I buy cokes, no kumby. 3oçlock passes, no kumby. We chit chat, come up with new subjects, ask Natilie for the tenth time what time it...

So 21 years ago on September 27, 1990, God brought a precious baby girl into the world at 8am. I don’t know anything else but that she was 8lbs and she was named Shannon Marie Myers. And now, 21 years later, on Tuesday September 27, 2011, I was able to celebrate that precious baby girl who is now a beautiful young woman! The day started off amazing. I was up early enough to see God’s awesomeness in the sunrise. What better way to start off your day?? Then the day was filled with ministry and spending time with this fabulous girl! We had a dance party in our kumby and sang to our little...

Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.  -2 John 12. These are just a few pictures of friends from when I was here in 2009 and then again with the same people. Complete joy! Me and Bongewai two years later! Such Joy. Me and Austin!  Londi and Temu. Alisha! Sifeso! Market!
