It's so hard to believe that it's already month TEN! Oh, and we're finally in AFRICA!

This month our whole squad is living together….. well, kind of. We are doing manistry/womanistry this month, so the guys and girls are living and working separately, but we are all at El Shaddai Children's Home.

Our backdrop is nothing short of amazing. Check it out:

Our ministry consists of gardening, planning and teaching pre-school, loving on babies, and tutoring our buddies. (We were each paired with one child who is our buddy for the month. We tutor them, love them, and pray over them. I am blessed beyond measure to be paired with this sweet gem, Nokuphila (pronounced No-gu-pi-la).

This is where we eat (and where our amazing food team prepares our incredible meals!):


We have clean drinking water, western toilets, western showers, beds, we can flush toilet paper, and we are surrounded by beautiful children and breathtaking mountains. So far so good!

Now you know how I'm living in Swaziland! Sorry I don't know how our boys are living. I know they are doing manual labor during the day and they also work with their buddies in the afternoon, but I don't know their specifics. Be in prayer for our team as we navigate this month separately, and pray that our whole squad pours every ounce of love we have on these precious children.
