Video of Swaziland!

I know that in many ways I’ve gone on a sort of “Missing” status with my blogs…I like to blame it all on the fact that last month in Durban I had little to no internet connection, but in truth, I’ve had a lot on my mind with no way to put it into words.  The past 3 months of being in Africa has taken me by storm with some of the things I’ve seen and the people I’ve met.  Dealing with the physical sides of this trip has not been bad this month, but the mental, emotional, and spiritual side is really under attack.  To say that I’m glad to be resting from it all for a weekend is an understatement.  

I remember something my dad said before I left on The World Race.  He said something to the nature of, “You simply can’t get a true picture of the people in Africa or other places, you see it in the magazines, you see it on TV, but it doesn’t really mean that much because you haven’t been there.  It simply is a picture without much meaning to you because you don’t know what it is really like.”  While I completely didn’t exactly quote that, he said something VERY similar to that.  Well, here I am…I now can imagine it, heck, I can remember it…actually, I do remember it, I remember each face I’ve seen, each kid I spent time with.  It’s really overwhelming at times when I recount the places I’ve been this year.

I really still have little to nothing to say about last month (though will press on and post something soon…I PROMISE!) as I’m still dealing with a lot of stuff from Swaziland, I wanted to give you some insight.  Here is a video that my friend and leader, Rusty did of the exact area of Swaziland we were in.  As I watched it and saw the people that I met and prayed with, I knew that it should be seen by all of you who follow this mecca I’m on.  

Also, all of my photos are online finally!
