Swaziland!

We finally made it to Swaziland Friday morning after a long day in the airport of London. We never got the chance to go into London because we had to first make sure we had a seat on the plane and by the time that was done there wasnt ime without running the chance of missing our flight. Since our arrival we have had a delicious cooked dinner and breakfast. After a good nights sleep in an actual bed we had the energy to enjoy a little shopping. The area we are in is beautiful, with prevalent reminders of the poverrty in this country. The carepoints we learned are closed on the weekends. Saturdays they have begun closing because the children and others travel far away to visit extended family which is too far for them to walk. Sundays are closed for church. Our work will begin in earnest on Monday morning, although I feel like we have done wonders for our local missioanries from Piney Grove. I cant imagine what it must do for their spirits to be surrounded by their home church family. Hugs from home can do wonders for the soul. A bag of home favorites (A-1, coffee, spices, dips) will keep their spirits up when we leave. We are having a fabulous time learning about the Swazi culture, trying to learn Swazi congenialities (like which hand to shake with and how to shake hands) I am excited to go to church tomorrow and participate in the Siswati service. Waiting to see how God continues to use us.
