My team and I have
arrived safely in the Kingdom
of Swaziland. We are in the process of settling into our
home adjusting to the extreme heat temperatures in a non-air-conditioned
house. The past two days have gotten up
to 100 degrees and since we are in the mountains, there is no breeze from
anywhere. But slowly and surely we will
hopefully get used to this weather (haha). Our house is very nice…there are a few bedrooms. All ten girls share a room and sleep in bunk
beds on the first floor. The guys are
upstairs in a smaller room with all the closets and their own bathroom. The leaders occupy the other smaller
bedrooms. The girls have a toilet next
to their bedroom and then two showers upstairs that they share. We have a kitchen and a common room, but no
furniture or anything. We have
entertained ourselves with fun games from home so far. All I can say is it’s going to be a long 5
months :0) The rooms are very hot and it
makes it hard to sleep, but we are thankful that we have a roof over our head
and beds to sleep in. We got a fan the
other day and it helps out a lot…however, there is talk of everyone investing
in personal fans as well. The one
amazing thing here is there are thunderstorms every night. Just the other night we were all our on the
balcony watching the lightening far off come closer to us. It was the most gorgeous thing ever. The loud thunder rattles the house and the
rain just pours down on the tin roof, while lightening lights up the dark
night. And the rest of the country is
pretty green and mountainous…it’s beautiful. Another benefit to living here are the mango trees. We have half a dozen mango trees in our yard,
so free mangos ALL the time; it’s a nice snack in the afternoons.
Our leaders are going
to check out all the possible ministry sights tomorrow and then they will give
us a run down and let us pray about where God wants us and hopefully soon we
will begin ministry.
Please continue to
pray for my team and the Kingdom
of Swaziland. If you don’t know the king here is pretty
much destroying the country by selfishly hoarding all the money for himself and
not paying attention to the needs of his people. Please pray specifically for the people in
Manzini (the city I live in) for boldness and the desire to break out of this
molds they are stuck in. Thank you for
all the prayers you have already spoken and the ones to come. God is always working and preparing the way
for us…I know he hears and honors all of your prayers. You are amazing, faithful stewards of the
Lord, continue to follow in the ways he leads you!!!
“The Spirit of the
Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the
poor. He has sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives, and release from darkness
for the prisoners…”
Isaiah 61:1
