Friends – The time has come. As I write to you from seat 5A of a South African Air flight towards Johannesburg, my heart is in a million pieces. This morning began with interviewing Wayne about his experiences here. What a pleasure and joy to sit and listen to his […]
Adventures
Friends – Our time in Swaziland is drawing to a close, but the adventures are not! Today we packed up and headed out to new places! After a great stop in Manzni with the Pages (a missionary family here) and Gogo Sandu, we headed to the north! This afternoon was […]
Bittersweetness
Friends – Today was the WILDEST day in Swaziland yet! It was just crazy! Today’s story is…..a little ridiculous. During one of our homestead visits today, a man was telling us about how thankful he was for the food we delivered because they have been unable to eat due to […]
Winding Down
Friends – Another hot one in Swaziland today! We were able to do 8 homestead visits today as well as Bible study and revival. Exhausting but so good! Today’s story isn’t nearly as heart wrenching as the last two but such a sweet memory for me. Each night we have […]
Heat of the Day
Friends – Today was the prettiest day in Swaziland! The sky was bright blue, the sun was out and shining and it was just gorgeous! Today’s story is another homestead visit – this afternoon while standing around one the churches, Gogo Sibantu suggested we do a BGR visit down the […]

Friends – Today was another fantastic day in Swaziland! As we move through this week, I’m going to focus on more specific stories since we have settled into a routine here (homestead visits in the morning, Bible study in the afternoon, and revivals in the evening.) Our first […]
Homesteads and Revivals Abound
Friends – We made it through Monday! What an incredible day! This morning we left for Maloma, one of the poorest regions of Swaziland. We were able to purchase about $200 of food, and deliver it 7 members of the Bible study this afternoon. While in Maloma, we spent the […]
A Stressful and Moving Day
Friends – It’s Sunday in Swaziland, which means church! Today we attended two separate churches, and I went with Wayne to a small church in Shinselweni. Church in Swaziland is literally indescribable, but frankly, it’s the most spirit filled I have ever felt in my life. The worship is unending, […]
Candles and Cows
Friends – Today was another fantastic day in Swaziland! Today was our official “sightseeing” day, but (as most of you know I like to do) I was able to sneak in some work as well! The morning began with my interview of Nono, which was so so sweet! She is […]
Swaziland…Finally!
Friends –We’re in Swaziland!! Today we stopped at a glass factory and we were able to shop for a while; we also drove most of the country today, and we picked up Nono, one of our great friends here! She is a nursing student in the capital, Mbabane, and such […]
