It'sTuesday night, and we are finishing our first stint with the Myers and headed to Mbabane (the capital city) to stay with the Allen’s in the morning. We arrived in Tshaneni (cha-nay-knee) on Saturday night and attended Vuvulane Baptist Church on Sunday morning. For those who are Swazi veterans, this is the church where Simphiwe and Douglas serve. This was Katy’s first church service in Swaziland, and she definitely enjoyed it. It was full of amazing singing, adorable Swazi kids and was held at a wonderful homestead.
Most of Monday was a planning day while Mr. Wayne got his bakkie fixed before heading to Mananga College. This is prep high school for privileged Swazi students. We spoke at a Christian club meeting with about 40 boarding students. We introduced them to silly bands, which were received well :), and shared about how to live a life worthy of the calling we’ve received (from Ephesians 4).
This morning Hunter spoke in Mafucula for a Theological Education by Extension class for pastors and church leaders in the area. She shared about Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch, and then afterward we enjoyed discussion and refreshments. Tonight we went to a new area called Macethuka. (Enjoy pronouncing these on your own and don’t forget the “c” is a click!) Katy taught the adults about David while Mrs. Barbara and Hunter shared a lesson with 40 kids.
The last two nights have been on both ends of the spectrum as we spent last night at a prestigious high school and tonight in a forgotten sugar cane camp. We are looking forward to returning to some of these places next week, for now please be praying for the National Youth Leaders Retreat this weekend. We are so excited to be a part of it in Manzini. Also please pray for our travel tomorrow and as we pick up the summer missionaries. We hope you are enjoying the warm almost June sun…it’s chilly here. :)
In Him,
Hunter and Katy
