Blogging by #s is a fun concept my squad mate Abby Weightman started and I am borrowing this idea from her for this month in Swaziland. Here we go… 


  • 21: The amount of ladies that lived together this month for “feministry
  • 345: The amount of kids fed in one week
  • 26: The amount of tires we painted around the community playground
  • 65: Number of miles walked this month
  • 6: Articles of clothing destroyed by paint
  • 60+: Sticky hand holdings with children
  • 17: Discussions about boys, dating, or marriage
  • 9: Trees planted
  • 1: Foul smelling compost bin emptied and used in soil
  • 15: Minutes a week for wifi
  • 4: The amount of times I would burst into tears for no apparent reason
  • 2: Books finished
  • 30: Cups of coffee consumed
  • 1: Free haircut (thank you Julie Dickey)
  • 20: Worship songs sang at the Sunday morning church service
  • 3: The amount of proposals I received from Swazi men
  • 0: The amount of proposals I accepted

It has been such an incredible month! I canNOT wait to upload the video for you all to watch.

We head to Thailand next Tuesday… keep our travels in your prayers.

Love,

Jolene
