Activities of Today

Today was a very cool day. In fact we have had several cooler days. It is Spring here so I guess we should expect that. It is just that we had some very hot weather earlier and I guess we are surprised that it has cooled down. We have also had some rain this evening.

We went to see a Botanical Gardens this morning with our friends Bob & Shirley Aldrich. The trees and flowers were beautiful. Then we visited the Swazi candle factory and Karis made a small candle to bring home. From there we went to eat lunch in a area that also has an outside garden resturant but since it was cool we decided to eat inside. They had a fire place burning so we set close and enjoyed the warmth of the fire. After we had eaten way to much good food we drove through one of the Game Reserves close by. We saw many animals. None of the big 5 animals are there because it is a small reserve. It is so interesting to watch the animals as they wonder just beside the road and usually don't think to much about people being around as long as we do not make any loud sounds.

Tomorrow Will is peaching in a Church just outside of Manzini. We have not been there so it will be interesting to see if we can find it on our own. There are not many roads signs like in the USA but we have been given directions to turn at this place....and then go this far....and then look for....and then.....till we get to the Church.

Have a great day in the Lord. We love you all and are praying for you.

Living in another country definitely makes one appreciate the comforts of home. I think it also presents opportunities to learn from other cultures. I am glad the weather has cooled for you and rain is falling again. I will pray for a safe arrival and return to the church. Love you guys:)
