Week 4

So this past week was a good week! We hung out with the kids, went to some carepoints with an NFL player's wife (Chanita Foster wife of George Foster who was just traded to the Colts), we went on a safari, took a trip to South Africa to renew our visas to stay in Swaziland, and hung out as a team. It has been an eventful week and a very much go with the flow of things! I don't even know where to start to describe this week. It was the last week with all 6 of us here together. It was great and sad and all sorts of emotions. It will definitely be sad when those 5 wonderful women of God leave and I am still here! But God has great plans for this girls home and I am more then willing to be used by Him to do his work! So some about this week. Monday a few of us got to hang out with Chanita Foster and see the care points and school she has started over here. She is a great woman, very powerful and knows how to get things done! Then on Wednesday Mary-Kate and I went with Tenele (read Mary-Kate's blog for more information on Tenele...you can get to it by Hosea's hearts website) to her mother's home to see if she could possibly move home or had other relatives that she could move in with because where she is living now is not a good situation. Her mother and step father were very willing to have her come home so this tuesday I with the social service office will be taking Tenele home to her mother's home. Thursday we went on a Safari! It was a lot of fun we saw giraffes, zebras, rhinos, and some other really cool animals! Yesterday we had to go to South Africa and we hung out with some of the kids. It was a really good day just spending it with the team and the kids. God has really used this time with these girls to prepare me more for staying here for the year. They have been a huge blessing on this trip and I can't believe they are all heading home on Monday. Each one has had such a big impact on my life that I will never forget! I know God has huge things in store for them and I am excited to see where God takes them! I am sad to see them go but know God has great things in the states for them! I will be praying for them as they return to the states and integrate back into their normal lives!!!! And we will see where God takes me as I continue to live in Swaziland and work to get the girls home started!
