Flexility is our friend, Expectation our Enemy, there is no right, no wrong there is just different. Boy have we already learned that. We have safely arrived in Johannesburg after a 2 and a half hour bus ride to Atlanta, 16 hour plane ride to Johannesburg, and then a 9 and a half hour bus ride to Swaziland.
Brrr though it is cold here as it is Winter in South Africa now. Today is Tuesday and this was our first day to be able to be with the Children. However as always you have to be flexible and we have learned this. Today it is raining steadily in Swaziland and it is around 45 degrees. The rain however has made it difficult for our team, but it is a blessing to the people as they have not received rain since January.
Due to the weather and our care point being on the Mountain our van was not able to make it up. So instead we spent the day at the school in N’Sosko doing bible school lessons, playing with the children, and singing. We even got asked to sing the National Anthem and in response the children sang to us their National Anthem. Today we taught the children the parable of the Woman with the lost coin.
Part of team was able to go on a home visit today and more visits will occur tomorrow depending on the weather. We are also hoping to then be able to visit the care point as well.
The children were overwhelmingly receptive to us and loved having their picture taken. The kids each wanted their own picture taken to be able to see themselves.
The Lord is already at work in a mighty way and has truly showered us with opportunities already to be in ministry.
