Swazi Pictures

Hey everyone! We had hoped to be able to take the blogs we wrote on the computer and use them on the computers at the local nursing college. Unfortunately, I didn't think to convert them to an older version of microsoft word. So this is an abbreviate blog, and hopefully we will be able to get online this Friday when we go to South Africa and post again. But I don't want to leave everyone hanging. We have been very busy with clinics and working getting ready for clinics. We've done three clinics so far, each of which has been very special. We've also gotten to see hospital patients two of the days, including patients with HIV, tuberculosis, and a variety of other diseases. We've gotten to see the care point that our church sponsors and even meet the boy that we sponsor at that site. We got to give out operation Christmas Child boxes, been able cloth hundreds, and provide glasses and medicines. We've done clinics in arid locations and in the mountains. We've gotten the chance to see hundreds of Swazis in that time. It really has been an incredible blessing to see the faith of some of the Swazis and to know God is at work here. So here's some pictures until we get a chance to put out some full blogs........Well, I guess that doesn't work real well either. I hope we can get a few posts out soon to let you in on what's happening here. Thanks for praying for us. God has kept us safe and keeps giving us opportunities to serve. I hope we can continue to see God at work here.

  1. I was reading an AIM blog and saw Andy's name! It was so neat to read about them taking a carepoint child to him. Praise God for what y'all are doing. Can't wait to see the pics.

    BTW, if you see this in time, pray for my daughter Anna. Her AIM team leaves today from Atlanta and will land in Jo'burg tomorrow (Thursday). Then it's on to Swaziland!!!!

  3. HI Guys
    Looks like you're having heaps of fun.
    I'm really sad we were not able to host youz in SA. But if you're in Cape town ever be sure to look us up, we'd be blessed to have you over and stay with us for a few days.
    Keep the faith

  4. Hey Ingrams! Found out that my daughter and her team are assisting the LUKE COMMISSION folks at Timbutini. How cool is that? I hope y'all are able to actually meet each other.

    Praying for y'all tonight and can't wait to hear all the great details!
