Praise the Lord they do not celebrate Halloween here. There is enough witch craft that they do not need anything else to bring that into this country. But when it come to Christmas they are putting up the decorations and the stores already have extra toys and things set out for the children to start making their wish list. Some things are the same but others are not. It is so hard to see those toys knowing that many children will get nothing. Many would be happy with a hot meal.
We are enjoying a lazy foggy, drizzling rainy day. Later this morning we will go to see some soccer, net ball, & volley ball that will be played between the 3 Nazarene institutions here. College of Nursing, Teachers College and the Theological College. The Nazarene Church is working on putting these 3 Colleges together and make a University out of them. That will be great. Both the College of Nursing and the Teachers College are here on the Mission station where we live. The Theological College is in Siteki which is about 40 miles from Manzini.
Have a Blessed Day in the Lord! Sending our hugs to all. Grace & Peace in the Lord.

I got your address from Kay Spallinger - big surprise to see you in Swaziland, where I visited several times. Mennonites Phil and Judy Kingsley taught there, as did Carol and Steve Baskauf back in the 1980's. Jack and I spend nine years with the UCC church aiding in education in Botswana.
Are you hearing good music in Swaziland? I loved hearing our school children sing in Botswana, almost always moving with the music and words. "Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. " Can you imagine hundreds of high schoolers moving, dancing to these words in the school dining hall? Christine Purves
