One Year Ago...

           It is hard to believe how fast time flies!  It's hard to believe that it has been over a month since we last wrote a blog. It's even crazier that one year ago today we were getting on the plane to come start our Swazi adventure. In the last month we had so many great things happen.  We had five family members come to stay with us over the span of three weeks.  It was a great experience to share Swaziland with them. We were also able to share Swaziland with their churches too. Their churches stood behind them and raised funds for different organizations we work with.
           Next week, May 24th, we have three different teams coming, equalling 29 people. We are so excited to welcome a team from Southern Nazarene University, Mount Vernon Nazarene University, and four people from Canada. SNU/MVNU will be busy all over the country of Swaziland:  playing with kids, feeding the hungry, building, digging, discussing health at schools, and so much more. We are so excited for their energy to come into Swaziland.  Also, there are four people coming from Canada. Marg Stahlbaum, her two children, and friend have been organizing a book drive for Swaziland. We are expecting a 20' container any day that is FULL of books for the schools in Swaziland. They will be assisting schools in setting up libraries...very exciting.  We will write more details later.
         As for now we are busy preparing.  As we prepare we are taking time to reminisce on all the adventures and lessons we have encountered this past year. We head back to the US in four weeks. Time will fly! Thanks for all the support and prayers!!!
