This week my blog might be occasionally hijacked by the team in Swaziland right now from my home church, Oakdale EFC in Iowa, although so far we've been so busy that there's hardly time to jump on the computer, and when we do the internet hasn't been too cooperative. BUT I'm FINALLY getting some pics of the Oakdale team posted (on facebook, link below).

 

If they weren't outside working so hard, the construction guys would probably tell you that the ground is incredibly hard and rocky and that they wish they would have packed a backhoe in their suitcases. The girls (and Mark J ) would probably tell you that it's hard to paint a mural on the side of a building when the smoke from the cooking fire is blowing right in your eyes. I'm pretty sure everyone would agree that Grace couldn't be any more excited about the house we're starting to build for her this week and that the kids at the Care Point are about the cutest things they've ever seen.  We are having such a great time. The weather has been warm in the day and pretty cool at night. Tonight we're off to an AIM staff fellowship and then more work and ministry tomorrow!! Tommorrow evening the team will be on a sunset game drive. On Thursday they'll be going out with me to a work day with the Timbali Crafts women. Keep praying for effective ministry!!
