Pictures.

Well..do i ever have an interesting title?? lol



Hi everyone. I just got back from a track meet at my school, so im a bit sore. I ran the 3000m, 800m, 400m, and 100 by 4 relay. I got 2nd, 1st, and 2nd. But I didnt do so well. I almost fainted after the 3000m. I am just now getting back into running and soccer since my back has been hurt. So it was hard. I have a biology test and a spanish test tommorrow, which i SHOULD be studying for, but what the heck?!? I needed to write a blog. Its more important (to me. lol) Well actually anything would be more important than studying, but i like writting blogs. Even though I barely do. OKAY, so anyways........UM. Last week wednesday, my parents took us all to the Macholweni Carepoint in Manzini with them. We got to play with the children, help with their food and watch my mom be a nurse. They are building a clinic at this carepoint, whiere my mom will mostly be...to give checkups to all the kids from the Manzini carepoints so they dont have to come all the way to Mbabane. There was this one little boy, he's about 9 months...but looks like he's maybe 2 or 3 months. His mom ran off and his older sister ( about my age maybe) who is deaf and mute, is taking care of him. Well trying anyways. My mom said he hadnt been bathed since the mom left and he had scabies all over him. He is the cutest baby I've ever seen in my life. He was VERY malnurished and basically starving. My mom braught some baby formula and made some in a cup. Now most babies that age or size cant even drink out of a cup yet, but BOY when he saw that cup and the milk, we all thought he was going to jump off the table to get to it. My mom braught it close to him and he almost dove in it, he was inhaling that milk like he had never eaten in his life. Tears came to all of our eyes as we watched him drink that milk. Everywhere the cup went, his eyes went. He could have drunk all day if we would have let him. That really touched my heart. I was like "mom, can we please adopt him?" lol. Sadly , that goes on ALOT around here and that is why we're here, to bring hope to these hurting kids. I was so proud of my mom that she gets to be at those carepoints everyday and take care of the sick, hungry kids. SO....yea I just wanted to share that. I'll try to put a picture of him....my dad isnt here and I'm a bit dumb when it comes to computers. :) Charles, Kristen, and Patrick have been doing some friday youth nights. They have gone REALLY well and I'm so thankful they are doing this....alot of teens are coming to the Lord. Some of my friends who get saved, have fallen back into this world though. It makes me feel like a failure almost. My school is soooooooo i dont even know. Lets just say, it is really hard for people who are not grounded in God to push on as a christian or even try. Hopefully that will change soon though. SOme older students have started a bible study a few days a week and we are praying that God shows us what we need to do to reach out to the school. Also Charles and them are doing a Big youth thing in November, called INVASION!! Im really praying that it goes well and ALOT of people come and get touched by God. Please pray for it. Kristen and Charles and Pat are sooo cool, i love them to death. OH.....at the church we go to here, Checkers Community Church, I've been playing guitar/bass with the worship on Sundays. Its scarry, but fun. Its quite a small church, so not that nervous. Nothing like HPC. lol. NOW THAT WOULD BE SCARRY!! aww I miss HPC. So yea....I MISS EVERYONE AND I LOVE YOUUUU!! :) I guess i should go study now. ADIOS AMIGOS!
