God is so good

Today we went to the Swaziland Government to start the process of getting a visa to stay here. We have been told by many Americans that you must go back and forth at least 4 times to get all the paper work that they need. Well, we walked in to the office and in less than 10 minutes we walked out with a # and told to come back in a month to get the next step of paper work. Praise the Lord we had all that we needed the first time and it was rather easy. We had our Friends Bob & Shirly Aldrich with us, with hopes of getting the final paper work done to be able to stay until the first part of February. When they walked out Bob can stay until February 6, 2009 and Shirley can stay until January 1, 2008. This means that they need to go back to Mbabane again soon. This is just another confirmation to us that we are where God's wants us.

The sun is shining today and it has again warmed up. After 2 days of cloudy, overcast skies, we were more than ready to see the sun. On our trip to Mbabane which is about 35k or 25 miles we saw some beautiful mountains and then the valleys where they grow pineapple and sugar cane.

We plan to just relax the rest of the day and reflect on the work that needs to be done here in Swaziland. Thursday we will be going out to home visits with the Nazarene HIV/AIDS Task force. I have been out on these visits when our GO TEAM was here but this will be a first for Will. Pray for us that we can give some encouragement and share the love of Jesus with these dear people.

Thanks for all of your for your prayers and words of encouragement.
