It's been a long time since I have posted anything. A bigs thanks to all the women who came out to support the Swazi women by buying bags!
I am doing a school project right now-to write up my testimony and decided to share!

 “However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me-the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace.” Acts 20:24

I have grown up in a believing family and I accepted Christ when I was 6. At that age, I didn’t totally understand what it meant, and went through a “brat” stage in which everything should evolve around me (which didn’t go well with my parents). Then at the age of 12, I went to our church’s yearly mission’s conference. God touched my heart that night through a speaker who was talking about her son, how they became missionaries and how God orchestrated everything for the good of those who serve Him. That night I finally realized what an awesome God we serve and re-dedicated my life to Him.  Through my walk with God, I have seen Him change many parts of my life and my attitude towards others, though I still struggle with so many things; He never said it would be easy, but He is always there to catch me. I was either 13 or 14 when I went to another mission’s conference, it was there that I realized God was leading me to the missions field. This is why I choose my life verse to be Acts 20:24.

7 Christmas parties down, 3 more to go!!!

   This week has been very busy, as we have been getting ready for Christmas parties for all 10 carepoints! We did the first three on Friday and Saturday which made for very busy days! Three more to come next weekend!

Nombali and I moving the fresh beef from the trash bag to another container. :)

   Today for the first time in a while I was able to sit down and process everything that has happened recently and realized I only have two more weeks left. This brought on so many different thoughts and feelings to my mind of great sadness, excitement and prayer. As my time is drawing to a close here, I am wondering and praying about what will happen next, where in Africa will I end up and when? But as I was reading Esther this morning, I realized she had total faith in her God even when her future was uncertain. She readily obeyed Mordecai and walked by faith during trying times. So as I finish up in Swaziland, I look forward in anticipation to what God has in store for me.

This weekend we were blessed with a two day get away to St. Lucia, South Africa. We got to sit out on the beach and be refreshed by God's overwhlemingly beautiful creation, the beach.
