Sany-bo-nani (Spelling is wrong but it means "Hello Everyone!")
Our trip continues to be going quite well. Yesterday here's what happened:
The Construction team made great progress on the nurse’s quarters. The nurses are currently living is a rat and bat and bug invested house-- these renovated quarters will allow the critters to stay out-- while a new place is being built. Later these temporary quarters will be use by the clinic. The construction team has been doing electrical, plumbing, painting-- you name it. We really want to get it done by Saturday before we leave... pray that we can.
The Medical Team went to Piggs Peak to work at the clinic there-- they were busier than in previous days-- seeing several people.
Rev. Micheale (pronounced McHale like in McHale's Navy) Lavigne and Yona Schroeder, and I met with the Pastors of the Hho Hho Region. What a great group of men and women. We sang together and prayed together and Rev. Lavigne and I led in a teaching time-- then we went to lunch at the Highlands Inn. The restaurant was OK-- certainly not a five star place-- but many of the pastors indicated that they had never eaten in a restaurant in their lives before-- they were so thankful that we had bought their lunch. We also gave them books and Yona had taken a picture of the group and of them individually-- which we were able to print out and given them. They were so thankful.
There was no VBS yesterday because there was no school for the younger children.
Last night we showed the Jesus film. Over 400 people showed up-- we printed 200 response cards and everyone was taken and that does not include the 70 children that moved forward. The say the response was overwhelming would be an understatement! God moved in a powerful way. Isn't that why we came? To see God heal and work and bring peace and salvation! It's happening!
I must report some sad news... our cow (That we named Barbie Q) met her demise yesterday. Dan Rexroth and several from the team had to travel to pick out the cow and then she came to a bitter end. She is dinner tonight (gulp!)
Also there was a three or four foot tree snake that wanted to come to the Jesus film last night. Just prior to her entrance the Rev. Dlaminni sent her to Snake heaven (Is there such a place? Probably not).
Today is the free medical clinic day. We are expecting over 1,000 people. It will be so busy--please pray that we minister in Jesus name.

Sany-bo-nani to all of you, too! What a great report! I keep reminding the Lord that if He could help Nehemiah rebuild the walls in 52 days, He can help you all finish the nurses house. What a great response to the Jesus Film. Praise the Lord! If anyone needs hope for now and eternity, it's the Swazis. And, what's a trip to Africa without a good snake story!! How good of Barbie Q to sacrifice so much for so many! I'm praying that God will multiply her gift to feed as many hungry Swazis as possible tonight. There are so many great photo ops in this trip, please keep those cameras flashing!
