Hey guys! Thanks so much for all of the prayers you have already sent up on my behalf and the constant encouragement. I did indeed receive my luggage! So that is a blessing that it arrived safely with all those goodies for the Swazi people in it. I am finally recovering from the flight and the time differences, thank goodness. The first two days were rough. We were supposed to leave today (Friday) for Swaziland but our plans got pushed back due to vehicle problems. We are aiming to leave tomorrow morning now. I really cant wait to get there and get involved with my ministry and the ladies. Once there, we'll have a free day every Monday. So that is when I will be able to blog each week. Though I'm so ready to arrive there; it has been a blessing to have these few unexpected days of rest and regrouping. It has been a little difficult coming straight from home and all the luxuries there to here. Last time in September, we had training camp before leaving for Africa. So that provided a little help in transitioning. It has been easier in some ways coming back this time and harder in others. I am very glad to be here though; the Lord blesses me constantly in affirming that this is exactly where I am supposed to be.
Other very exciting news that I have is that yesterday my friends and I braved public transport and went to Atteridgville! It was truly incredible. I am so in love with the women and the children there. We found all of our little street kids, and of course I sought out Treasure. He remembered me after a little while and latched on just like he used to. He even cried when I took him back to his mother becaue he wanted to stay with me. We also got to see our friend Francina, who is doing very well. Her husband has actually added on to their home, doubling the size of it. I really cannot express how wonderful it was to visit our sweet friends there.
Thanks again for all the love and the comments some of you leave.
