Under, In, Above Clouds


What a day. We went to Hlatikhulu. Now try to say that. Will preached to about 200Swazi people through an interpreter, which was the Pastor, who was nursing a broken ankle. The Sunday School hour began at 10 am and then followed by the Worship Service which was not over until after 1:30 pm. Following that there was a meal served so most stayed in the Church as it was raining. Here they fill the plates and bring them to you. Kenny you would not like it as all the food was piled on top of the rice. Salads, veggies, meats and whatever is being served. But it really is good food.

We were taken into the Parsonage where we were served as the rest but on fancy plates and soft chairs not benches and plastic plates. It continued to rain most of the day but that did not dampen any ones Spirit.

This was Family Day and the Preaching Point Church was invited to the service. They sang, shared and gave Testimonies. There were 2 other groups that sang specials, a VBS program, some testimonies from students that had just returned from studying in South Africa. All this happened before the Message.

Following lunch we drove to the Preaching Point about 7 km away. Praise God for 4 wheel drive. This Church actually meets under a tree unless it is raining and then they meet in the Pastors home which was quite small.

Now about the clouds. It was a rainy day as I said and we drove about 75 km to get there. During our drive we were below the clouds, in them and a couple of times even above them as we went to higher elevation. It was beautiful. We continue to be amazed at the beauty in Swaziland.

You're right, I probably wouldn't like it initially. But if you're hungry then you eat what's in front of you.
