Whew...It feels like we've done a lot since our last post! It's probably no more than normal, just feels like a lot. On Friday we taught an adult Bible Study at Hawane. We loved being able to spend time with such a faithful bunch of believers. During Bible study everyone lays one thing they brought onto a table and picks something else up to take home. These women will tell you it is so no one is ever in need when the need could be filled. They are looking to model the church we see in Acts 2.
Saturday was FULL of Lacie Allen's birthday fun, cake and a jumpy slide(yes, we did want to go down it. No, we didn't actually go down it)! We played at her party and watched a birthday movie with her. It was tons of fun. Sunday we returned to Hawane for church. The church was PACKED! We were able to see many of the women from Friday and our friends from the Youth Leaders Retreat. They are a lively congregation and welcoming to all. We were so glad to be back with them.
In order to be able to return to the States without any problems, we had to leave the country for a day so we won't over stay our passport stamps! So, Monday we headed to South Africa for a get-away and some lunch at a delicious coffee shop. BEST CUP OF COFFEE EVER:) Katy wanted to dance by the table she was so excited. We also went to dinner back in Swaziland with the Steve and Monica Allen which we definitely enjoyed. We feel like new people:)
Tuesday we spent the morning at the Baylor clinic in Mbabane. They treat children with HIV and their families. We shadowed two different doctors and saw a few patients. One little girl was very sick. She has stage 4 HIV(AIDS), skin cancer and TB. She was having all sorts of medicine and dosage confusion. We saw children with pneumonia and a woman who was finally getting better from a long spell of seizures. It was definitely an interesting morning.
The team from FBC Washington gets into South Africa today and drives to Swaziland tomorrow. We will meet them after the Bible study at Sibebe tomorrow afternoon. We're excited to see them and so is Swaziland!
Thank you for praying and keeping up. It means a lot to us both!
Until the whole world hears,
Katy and Hunter
