"My Face is on the Surface of the Sun" and other musings :)

Hello Dear Friends!

I am glad to be writing to you from my hotel in Mbabane. We are continuing our orientation until tomorrow (Saturday) then Kim and I will be heading over to Tshaneni with Wayne, our m*. We will spend a couple days with a lady who is an American follower, which is where we'll be living for the majority of our time in Swaziland. Then, we will move out into a more remote village with a fellowship leader and his family. Another leader will come up to teach us SiSwati four days a week. We got a crash course in Swati today and we went to the market to try to practice our skills which was...interesting! Surely, we will improve. Today has been the first day that we have actually learned any language so it has been fantastic because we can communicate a little. ;)

We have been doing mostly orientation and some touristy kinds of things the last couple days to ease us into culture before Kim and I move out into the bush and really start living :D

Some ways you can speak to Father on our behalf? Here we go:
*That our partnership would continue to grow and strengthen.
*That He would be putting people in our lives for us to raise up in Truth
*For the summer teams that are already sharing the TLW message and studying the Word
*That we would have a fantastic transition from being in the city to being in the bush...we're excited!
*Language learning & patience as this is a difficult language to learn

I love you all <3
