10 Things I Love About Swaziland

I don't know if I mentioned that we have 6 teams in a 7 week period and it has been crazy here. The last two teams are here now. Before these teams arrived though, I took a couple of days off to rest in the Lord and renew my spirit. Above is one of the beautiful sites in Swaziland this time of year, the jacaranda trees. This weekend I surprised Natalie (my roomie departing for the states next week) with a Saturday that was special for her. We went walking (2 hours worth) and I took her horseback riding. (Yes, by back end is sore.) But it made me think of all the wonderful things in Swaziland. So many people say you have given up so much (free refills, fountain drinks, TV, WalMart, family), but look at what I've gained!!
