My team of 34 college students from all over the US and Canada arrived safely in Swaziland on Monday afternoon. It has been a glorious couple of days, and I'm so blessed to be here.
Our team has been split into two separate teams, and I am living in a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom house with 22 other teammates. I share a bedroom with 10 girls. We have limited running water and no working toilet. Squatty potties and bucket showers authenticate my African summer.
We have been acclimating ourselves to the beautiful Swazi culture, and tomorrow marks our first day of ministry. Locations haven't been assigned yet, but I will likely be working in the AIM office assisting the staff. I am so excited to see what God has for me here.
Saturdays will be our day off each week, which will likely be when blog posts and emails happen. We don't have Internet at the homestead, so wifi access requires a trip to the mall or local Internet cafe.
I love you all!
Love you, too!
