Everything!

(this is a picture of a field we had a soccer game on- nice field huh?? lol even had an added bonus-glass, cows, and , big holes)
OK, so now its been what?? Two months since ive written. wow. I think i need to write more. School has been very hard though, so i barely ever have time. Thats the problem. lol. Well.....what is there to say?? Our trip to Zimbabwe after Christmas was AWESOME!! It was the best vacation in my life. Christmas was ok , but we were all homesick....so yea. School started about two months ago...and its very intense. (for me anyway) I like it though. I have great friends there, and they cheer me up when im stressed or REALLY homesick, which is like often. lol. My dad found out about girls club soccer here, so now im on a team. Its a womens team called Imbabatana. (however u say it??) The ages are from 14 (me) to 27. We practice tuesdays through thursdays. The coach, coach Aaron, speaks siswati mostly , so alot of the time I have to ask one of the girls what we're doing. But it's fun, im happy i get to play alot now. I really miss my team in Baton Rouge though....Thats one of the main things i've been so homesick for. I love those girls sooo much, theyre the bestest friends i could ever have. I always wish i could still be playing with them. I loved it sooooo much. Anyways....Im glad they have been still keeping in touch with me, as well as all my other friends. It really helps when im homesick . God is helping me though, and teaching me things along the way. LIke to depend on Him for everything, He knows what I need , want. I know Im here for a purpose, so i need to make the best out of it. I know Im homesick now, but the truth is......Id miss Swaziland if I went back. I dont have a home here on earth anyways. My home and destination is heaven. PLease pray for me to trust God and to be able to lead people to Christ at school in whatever way He wants. Mostly for courage, strength, and endurance. I miss everyone and love you soo much!!!!!
(mimi - hope you feel better fast)
