Well....hm..where do I begin?? I started Waterford Kamhlaba Wednesday. It is soooo HARD!! lol. Everyone is sooo nice. I am in the end of form 2 - (eighth grade) to get used to things. The new year (9th grade) starts in January. Ive met alot of people. Cant remember all of their names. My friend Beza is from Ethiopia and boards there. Sarah is the head masters (principal) daughter , so she lives right by the school. Beza and I went to her house today after school to hang out. Beza braided my hair in corn rows. She says I am trully an African now. haha. I thank God soo much for allowing me to get into this school and make such wonderful friends already! There is not any christian principle taught at this school at all. Please pray that I stay strong in the Lord and that He will continue to shine through me , so that I can be a light to others. (also please pray that I dont fail math and Swaziland history) lol. Its quite hard. I am taking a Siswati class at school. Its fun. Yebo-means yes. And there are alot of weird clicks in the swazi language. Thats about all I know so far. haha.My siblings start school Monday at Sifundzani Primary. They are quite anxious to start. We went to some of the carepoints the other day (for the first time , since we have been trying to settle in still) I loved it. ,The kids are sooo cute. Its sad , though. Most of them are soo skinny but their stomaches bulge out because of the worms and parasites in them , most likely from drinking dirty water. Most of the Swaziland population live in poverty . Kids here , catch the FLU and die , just because their bodies are not strong enough to fight it. Please pray for us as we try to help and show Gods love to these hurting people. More later!!!

Hi Gabby.
You may not remember me, but I remember you from Baton Rouge. I think your dad was my teacher at one point. My mom was a teachers aid at FCA (Mrs. Marchan). Anyways I didn't know you all were in Africa doing mission work. Thats awesome. Well I hope all is great. I have been married now for about 1yr and 9months.
Take care and hope to hear back from you. God is faithful and His mercies endure forever!
