Josh is so great with kids and he is really getting excited about being a Father one day soon.
How precious!
We just shared the gospel with this family as we went around to the homes to take a census for the ministry.
This girl always looked so sad, but she is adorable. I just want her to smile more.
still that serious look on her face.
“I love you… I will also miss you when you are in your country my friend. I think I got my mom now if it is you. I can trust you always. You are my lucky from God friend.”
These words were written to me in a letter from this beautiful girl named Fisiwe who has stolen my heart. Her mother left her after she was born and was infected with AIDS and her father died of AIDS. She is now living with her Gogo (Grandmother). She is 14 and is craving affection from a mom. In her letter she asked if I would be her mom and after talking to Pastor Gift I am able to tell her YES. I am not saying I am taking her home with me, but that I will serve as a mom to her by sending her letters and being a part of her life. I am so excited to see how God will use his beautiful daughter to impact His kingdom in Swaziland.

My Swazi daughter, Fisiwe, is on the right.
Beautiful children. It is so sad to see that most of the middle aged have died off due to AIDS. All you see all around you is children and Gogo’s (grandma’s) This country is dying if something does not change.
Eating time. All the orphans come together and eat maize meal porridge.
As you look around most of the children’s shoes are completely worn out. On one of the last days of our vision trip at Nosoko we got to wash all the children’s feet and give them new shoes. It was a wonderful day and the kids were overjoyed to have brand new nike’s. I think we gave over 300 children new shoes.
One of the Gogo’s.
Sisters.
The bellybutton is a phenomena I don’t understand.
Children should get to be children. Sliding at the Nosoko project.
Eating Maize and Beans.
I just loved her pink sparkly dress.
This man practiced Mooti, or witchcraft and beleived that he would DIE if he removed these bracelets. I told him that only Jesus had the power to heal him and that those bracelets were nothing but a manmade object with no power. But, he refused to take them off. Witchcraft and demonic are a huge part of the culture here that needs to be broken.
The man again with his bracelets.
A typical Swazi homestead.
