Alot of different topics!! haha

This is the athletic fields behind my school. Theyre really nice . Cant wait to start playing soccer on them. Not too excited about running long distance up and down that BIG hill behind them. haha. J/k it should be fun. (maybe)
Well....today was my first monday at Waterford. I love it soo much. God had it all planned out that I would make it in there and then meet the wonderful friends I already have. It is so nice to know that there are a few other people who are christians ,as well as me, and share the same beliefs and love for Jesus. At school today me and 2 other girls talked about so many things,like how since we have been saved- The Holy Spirit has really opened our eyes and hearts to the Bible. We need to have Gods word in our hearts , so that God can use us to help others. I hope that when I am older I can look back at my "highschool" years at Waterford and be able to say that because of Jesus shining through me , I was able to lead some one or even many to Him. Everyone is soo nice and friendly. Beza and Sarah have made me feel sooo included and I am soo happy that I met them. Everyone else in form 2 is amazing , too. I am just not so good with names.So sorry if any are mispelled.I cant spell. Elana, Tamara, Sapati , Anthony, Ben, Beaux, richard, Lily, Sela, Aissa, Dominique, Tish, Alex, ...I am thinking of a few other girls, but I cant remember names right now. As soon as I learn everyones , I will put them on here as well. Thanks Beza for helping me with math (i need it) and everything else.
Anyways.....I miss everyone in America soooooooo much!!!!! Family(mimi,Aunt Gina,Dev and Regan,Sharon & Joe,Stef and Sam,Uncle Duane & Aunt Deb,Grandma & Grandpa,Charla & Dave,Stephanie & Cory,ANGELLEEEEEE I have to include you as family. lol BFFL) I miss all of my friends so much , as well.

SCHOOL!!

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!!!
