We have not been given a spirit of fear but a spirit of power and love and selfcontrol.

Mozambique

Sorry about the noblogging!

Heading out to Mozambique for the week so I'll be catching you all up on life in Swaziland when I get back!

Love you all!

The rainy days of Swaziland

HELLO EVERYONE!


I arrived safely in Swaziland on Thursday!


Went straight to the clinic from the airport to get ready to hold a mobile clinic on Friday. Clinic went well and I've been having a grand time getting to know everyone with Children's Cup in Swaziland!


Some Swazi highlights:


1. Within 5 minutes of being in the country I saw a man peeing on the side of the road...literally...just right out in the open.


2. I saw 3 elephants during my first sunset in Africa...amazing I know!

3. In my first mobile clinic I heard a 6 year old who has a very irregular heart beat and ran a couple strings of V fib (aka ghost holding hands...not a very good thing) while I was listening to his heart.


4. I finally started feeling normal...more myself...when I was able to participate in vocal worship practice after church on Sunday.



5. I've now learned how to kiss my teeth...a form of expression or input in a conversation...no idea when to use it though.

Love and miss you all!
I'll be writing an update soon and a prayer email update as I continue to get settled.

Love ya!

Just hangin out in Heathrow

Hello family and friends!

I'm sitting in the Heathrow Airport in London, England, waiting to board my flight to Jburg, South Africa. For lunch I bought some fish and chips with a cup of tea...which I thought was the proper thing to do when waiting in the London airport.

Took a short one eye open nap on the bench while laying on my back pack...so refreshing. Did what I could to get refreshed and smelling pretty so that those around me aren't repulsed.

Here is a quick photo journal of my amazing 7 hour layover in Heathrow:

Oh my goodness! 20 pounds for shower?! That's $40USD!!!
I'll use the wonderfully free sink facilities in the toilet thank you very much.

What gate are we supposed to go to? It's said "Please wait" for 30 minutes and we leave in 1 hour!

Ready for another kick you in the pants hysterical 9 hour night flight?!

You betcha!


Here's our plain and we're ready to board!

Day 1 of Forty Days of Prayer with Children's Cup!

Come join us as we specifically take time for the next 40 days to pray for the work Children's Cup is doing! Join us on the web at http://www.childrenscup.org/v2/fortydays/ . It's also not to late to order the booklet if you haven't gotten one yet in the mail.

Come join us as we go before the Lord to seek His heart and pray for those we are reaching!

Psalm 10:17-18
You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.

Day 1:

Jesus, we ask that you do something OUTRAGEOUS…AIDS is such a huge problem, especially in Africa. We are asking for you to heal people from this disease that, for man, is incurable. It is too big for us to handle, but nothing - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - is too difficult for you.
Do this your way, for YOUR GLORY.
In Jesus’ name, AMEN
