Goodbyes hold lots and lots of tears. I was not prepared for this. I knew it was going to be hard to leave at the beginning, but never did I expect this. I have learned a whole new meaning of love in Swaziland. It’s the most beautiful thing that I get to love so hard that it hurts this much to leave. That place and those people have taught me and shown me so much. It has been such an honor to be apart of the Swazi community. I will forever hold on to the sound of the kiddos laughs & the smell of the Swazi air. I’m going to miss the incomparable sunsets and stars. I’m mourning the fact I will most likely never get to hold my babies ever again. Goodbye’s never get easier but Jesus also never gets less faithful. I can leave in comfort knowing the people living here are wrapped up all nice and tight in the Lord’s arms. It continues to blow my mind that Jesus gave me the opportunity to befriend these people. I can’t even use words to describe the emotions that this holds. Swaziland has been a dream and will always be a second home to me.
Travel update: I’m currently writing this in Thailand, we leave the day after tomorrow to start our 37 hour bus ride into Myanmar. PRAY FOR ALL OF OUR TIRES TO STAY ON THE BUS PLEASE!!!!
I really have to give the biggest thanks to everyone that has supported me and followed me this far into my journey with World Race. Everyone’s supportive prayers and words mean a million times more to me that you could ever possibly imagine. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! Sending virtual hugs everyone’s way.
Love, Sam <333
