Hello friends and family! This morning we were up at an early 6am to clean and pack and leave the homestead (tears of sadness…but also of joy to never have to get a whiff of the squatties again!)  Of course we couldn't leave the area without stopping at the corner store to purchase 100, yes that's right, 100 fat cakes to munch on for breakfast.  The owner of the store actually woke up at 3am that day to make fat cakes for us because she knew we would be stopping by.  We felt so blessed! This past week has been bittersweet as we've had to say goodbye to...

Well, everyone…Swazi landed!  We got into the Johannesburg airport on the 5th and stayed at a missions hostel that night.  The following morning our team drove from South Africa to Manzini, Swaziland.  It was wonderful to sleep, talk, and take in our first views of the country.  It is a completely different world.  After settling in at our homestead that first night in Swazi, we had a cultural briefing and then made dinner.  Food has been an adventure.  Our team is huge and we don't have very many resources, but the team has been great and...
