Class of 2011

Sanibonani my friends!!! Please forgive the long delay in blogging!!

Everything is going well here and although I’m really looking forward to coming home I catch myself at times very emotional at the thought of my last day here! This usually happens when I’m in pre-school. Just watching the children develop and grow academically makes me so grateful to the Lord that they have this opportunity that so many don’t have. Their little personalities have captured my heart and i love just spending time with them. Most of the children i worked with last year have left us now and started at the local primary schools. On their last day i watched with pride as they terminated this part of their life with a graduation service! Graduation gowns were hired for this occasion and they all looked so cute!! It was a memorable day! They are sadly missed at the pre-school!!! The pre-school re-opened on the 18th January and has brought in even more children than last year! At the last count there must have been 40 altogether, 30 which are new! So many new faces with new names that can be hard to pronounce never mind remember but i feel it is very important in building loving relationships with them if I take the time to know all of their names and not leave any of them out!

Although i have 3 months left before i come home i feel the Lord has already started preparing me for my life after Swaziland! So many emotions, so many tears and so much of the fathers love is consuming me at this time as he gently nudges me in the right direction! He has spoken clearly to me of my next step and confirmed that Bible College is next on his agenda! This makes me a little nervous but the excitement of this seems to overpower the anticipation of what is to come! My when and where still unknown but my trust is completely in God’s perfect hands and timing! I would appreciate your prayers regarding this.

Thank you everyone for your support during my time here, my love and thanks go out to you!
