I'm not going to sugar coat- our month in Swaziland is difficult.
I appologize for not posting a blog earlier this month, it is my goal to take you all on this journey with me and i will try to do better at that. Our ministry here in Swazi is with the local primary school which is difficult at times when we do not understand Siswati (the language mainly spoken here). Another ministry is praying for patients at a nearby clinic where patients are being treated for things like Aids and tuburcliosis. Everyday kids from our area come to where we stay after school. It is difficult to see these children dirty, wearing no shoes, and possibly not haven eaten anything that day yet.
If I think that I have eight more months of this, that makes me want to give up and quit. Get a ride to South Africa and fly home. All I can do is take this journey one day at a time. I'm reminded of the Israelites when God provided mana. If they stored up the mana it would go bad so they had to trust that God would provide everyday. God still has more in store for this journey! Your prayers are always appreciated.
Also pleas pray for the people of Swaziland, specifically in Emkhuzweni- where my team was. They are such welcoming and friendly people whom many are struggling to meet day to day needs.
