First of all I would like to say it is so encouraging getting comments on my blogs, emails, and facebook messages from people back home. It really shows the body of Christ and how much my Christian family supports me. Thank you.

Thank you to everyone who prayed for Martha. She had a short stay in the hospital but is now completely better. She thanks everyone who lifted her up in prayer.

In my last blog I promised to write about the big feeding we had in the squatter camp in Swaziland. Well, it was amazing. We all chipped in a bought a cow to feed everyone and invited anybody we could. The best way I can discribe it is a huge party in a tiny church. There were tons of people overflowing and all so excited to be there. There was music, dancing, laughter, and lots of hugs. There was one little girl who just latched onto me and didn't let go. She is seven years old and just precious. I could tell she just really needed love so I did my best to hold onto her. God really come through because my arms never got tired. Later I learned more of her story. There is a tree line in between the squatter camp and the city dump where little girls go to sell their bodies to get bread or money for food. She is one of these girls. It just broke my heart. So I just held on tight and told her over and over again (even though she doesn't know English) that God loves her because he made her and that I love her too. I prayed over her and asked many of my friends to say a special prayer of protection for her. Please, oh please pray for these girls.

On Monday we all piled into the vans to come back to South Africa. I didn't really want to come back because I really loved Swaziland, but God has been working in my heart and I am loving South Africa as well. This past week I went to Mamalode which is a large township about an hour away from where we live. There is a day care there that we have partnered iwth. I have worked with the 6-10 year olds. We go and put on a program that includes singing, crafts, Bible stories, games, skits, and just play time. Please pray for us as many of the families of these kids rely on witch doctors instead of the grace of God. It is a battle ground. Jesus welcomed the children into his arms while he was here on earth and I know that this is still his heart. Please pray for us as we plan these programs, the translater, the children and their families, and the salvation of the witch doctors.

I have been learning so much and I am so thankful to be here. I am so grateful that the God of the universe chooses to call me his. I am honored for the opprotunity to fight for the heart of my king.

There is no spell check on this computer and my time is about to run out so I have to go. I hope it's readable. I love you all and think about you daily.
