Dear wonderful friends and family.
  Because of you I was the envy of 80 other World Racers (that is the truth with no drama added).
  I received 17 packages and several letters.
  I felt so loved, encouraged and humbled that you would be so generous to me.
  You just prove over and over how abundantly gracious the Lord is.
  One of my teammates even dreamed right before I received the packages that I was proclaiming in her dream how Godd would be abundantly generous to our team.
  And then the packages arrived and I have lots of treats to share!
 

THANK YOU so much for your support, prayers and encouragement.
  Receiving all the packages and cards blessed me beyond words.
  I am so grateful for each one of you and your unending gifts through prayer and actions.
  I love receiving the comments on my blogs from each one of you.
  I am sorry that I cannot respond individually but know that they are always appreciated and coveted.
  The Lord continues to use you to show His grace and love to me and my teammates.
  I pray that God will bless you abundantly for your generosity.

Here are some pictures of my birthday celebration in Manzini and with my packages in South Africa!

That is a lot of love sent over the ocean for me!

Me carrying my laundry through Manzini – I wonder what the locals thought?!

Lots of friends at Nandos having lunch in Manzini!

Elizabeth made me Mexican in Swaziland!

A little icing fight with me and Candice to finish off the night!

It was a great birthday.  I cannot believe that I have lived 26 years and celebrated the 26th in Swaziland!
