It has been a bit quieter here in Swaziland since the World Cup was going on in South Africa and teams couldn’t afford to fly in. I am sure that all of you watched a game or two and that you absolutely LOVED the heavenly sound of the VUVUZELAS!! (I could do without that sound for the rest of my life!)
My mom was here for 3 weeks to visit us and enjoy Emi who is 8 ½ months old now. Can you believe it? We can’t. Time is flying by. We enjoyed her time with us so much.
We have started a new Care Point in a little place called Gege. We just finished building a kitchen there with the financial help of a Worship Band in the States called Desperation. I was told in the week that they are already feeding 150 kids. That is absolutely amazing and making such a difference in their lives. I took my mom with me to the last food drop which consisted of beans, maize meal, oil, salt, soup mix and little bags of dehydrated soy and rice. They are very grateful for this food.
I will be busy the rest of the month helping church teams who are visiting Care Points that they have adopted. It is always fun seeing how the kids respond to their American friends and for the churches to see how they are making a difference here in Swaziland.
Jodi and I just booked our tickets back to the States, and we will be there from the middle of October till the end of December. Aside from raising some money while we’re there, October is Jodi’s birthday, Emi’s birthday and our wedding Anniversary. And we will be there for Thanksgiving, my Birthday in December and Christmas. We really hope to see lots of you while we’re home. It will be a fun time to be back in the States, and we’re really looking forward to it.
Thank you again for being a part of our lives here in Swaziland. We really appreciate you!

Looking forward to you all being home for a few weeks. Hope to see you all then. Love you.
Great pictures of the GeGe Care Point and Pastor Ronald. So grateful for all you are doing for this special family. The pictues make me ‘homesick’ to return next year. We are looking forward to our 2 months there.
You all look wonderful and we can not wait to see you in GA in October.
Blessings to you all.
So good to see pics from the newest carepoint and of course I loved the photos of my Swazi Grandbaby. Papa John and I are counting the days til you guys arrive. Megan and Evan are also very exicted about thier babysitting duties while you guys are off raising support. We miss you but are so proud of the work you are doing in beautiful Swaziland.

We hope to be up there to see you – probably the end of October! You guys look great. Thanks for the update.
We would love to see you when you are in the states. Maybe you could come to our church. Love you guys.
Is Emi crawling, she is so beautiful. Missed you last visit, but will for sure see you this one. Noticed coats, is it cold there now? Bella is crawling and already pulling up to things (8.5 months) Camden is everywhere (17 months) All other grandkids are doing fine
So glad to hear that y’all are coming to town in October. Be sure to drop by the bank with that sweet baby!! 🙂
Would love to see you if you are passing through NC around Winston-Salem. No need to talk to anyone. Just a friendly visit. If you’re too busy, I’ll see you in January. Still praying for help on the ground for you long-term.
