Since we last talked...we've traveled back and forth between Mbabane(the capital) and Manzini(the commercial capital) so many times! We participated in the National Youth Leaders retreat this weekend. We had so much fun speaking each night and spending time with 40 of the youth leaders from all over the country. Two of Hunter's friends, Simanga and Sandile, came to surprise us on Friday night:) We taught the kids how to play limbo. They LOVED it! It was unreal how good they were at it.We enjoyed worship, speakers, lots of siSwati, games, discussion and what feels like a 10kg bag of rice each!
Today we went to church in Mphembekati(you can pronounce this. just keep trying) which was a five mile walk each way. We hit several large hills on the way so Hunter and I felt the burn! I experienced my first public transport ride. It was...well...interesting. There were probably between 50 and 60 people on the 22 passenger bus. So, it was a little crowded.
We've eaten meat(of various kinds), rice, cabbage salad, rice, butternut, rice, water and rice. Needless to say we are enjoying ourselves so much and are headed for a week of travel. We will be in Thunzini tomorrow visiting Simanga and his family, Tshaneni with the Myers' for 2 days, Sishelweni(that was a shot in the dark for spelling) for 2 days then back here to stay for the rest of the trip! We are looking forward to more Bible studies and visiting homesteads.
Thank you so much for keeping up with us and praying!
In Him,
Katy
