Hey everybody, So last time I talked about how I was loving talking in front of all the kids on Thursdays. Well this week is a little bit of a different story. On Mondays and Thursdays I go to a primary school in Manzini. It is one of the nicest private schools in all of Swazi. Walking into that school often feels like walking into a different world. The children in this school come from well of families. One day they will be the leaders of Swaziland. It’s kind of funny when I sit and think about it. The kids in this school learn 4 languages, take ballroom class, and many speak...

I sat and watched the clouds pass in front of the beautifully bright, full moon sometimes fully covering the moon, sometimes partially covering the moon, or even at times completely exposing the moon. The Lord spoke to me about how there are times when there are things (struggles, sufferings, attacks) that completely drain us of our light, or times when we only shine partially, or the wonderful times when we are able to fully shine. Friday, or I guess it was Saturday, at 3 am I woke up to take my shift interceding on behalf of the Novas team in Nsoko. Just a little...

On Wednesdays we take the day to decide where we think God is leading us. This week me, Tori, and Becca decided to go on a prayer walk and do a couple house visits. Last week we visited Musa’s (a man on the d-team that works for AIM) gogo. She had previously had a stroke so it was difficult for her to do work around the homestead, but by the time we had visited her the work was already done. This week we wanted to go back to her homestead to see if there was anything we could do for her around the homestead. She was not doing well- they suspect that she has ulcers. She...

                One of the things they told us at training camp is to not have any expectations while on the mission field, because my expectations will most likely not be met. It was pretty much impossible not to have any because from the moment I had gotten accepted to come to Swaziland I had expectations. For one, I was expecting to live in a mud/clay hut with no gas and electricity. I live in a concrete building with gas, electricity, bunk beds, and refrigerator. I was also expecting...

  “I’m on my way, I don’t know where I’m goin’. I’m takin’ my time but I don’t know when.” -Paul Simon Life is a crazy journey and I never in a million years ever thought that I would be in a place called Swaziland 2 months after I graduated college. I don’t think I had ever heard of Swaziland until 7 months ago when I felt the Lord telling me to leave the country for 3 months. Then I found AIM and the opportunity to go to Swaziland was presented. I think that is one of the reasons I decided...
