Maketala

YAY!! It has been a great week. We have two women here from Household of Faith and my mom is also here. Mother-in-law in SiSwati is Maketala (ma gay da la). We have done so much since they arrived!! To get the fun out of the way, we went to a game park. It was great. We saw all the big animals. Since we got back, it has been nothing but intense ministry. Tuesday, we held a brunch for our cooks. Our cooks at all of our care points are strictly volunteer. It was an awesome opportunity to pour back into their lives. I believe they were truly blessed. We have aslo held two medical clinics, which all the women have really enjoyed. It is an awesome feeling to see a need and meet a need. Another exciting thing we have been able to do is hand out teddy bear and puppy dogs (stuffed of course). The reactions from the kids are priceless. The pictures don't really do it justice. Wednedsay we made a trip to Mozambique to see the church we are building there. I am so excited for that community and all God has for them. The women have completely blessed Charles and I in such a huge way. We are excited about their future trips here. Sorry if we've been slacking on any emails, as you can assume we have been so busy. Thanks for your continual prayers!! We miss everyone!! Our youth event is this Saturday and we need all the prayers we can get!!!!! I am having trouble loading the pictures, we have been having a lot of internet and phone issues lately so i will post them as soon as i can.

I noticed on the 'Cup donation page ya'll aren't listed as interns anymore. Was that just temporary anyway or have ya'll made a longer commitment than originally planned?

I am so proud to be the Maketala. My heart has been so warmed by the incredible work you are both doing to bless the people of Swazi.
God has given you a gift that you pour out daily! Don't quit--there is a tremendous blessing waiting.
I love you both so much!!!

Hi you two. just got back from Swaziland. Reminiscing on the two days we were there i have to say it was really good. we go alot of places with our music ministry and just spending a little time with you guys there in Swaziland was kiff! (that means great!) it was one of our highlights this year. i speak for myself though but the conversations i had with the guys on the way back was positive and they really had a good time. Geezo said you guys are so much fun to hand around with and Jordan does the best Napolean Dynamite impersonation! anyways TAKE IT EASY! Clint and the spin the flava gang. clint@spintheflava.co.za
