Hello again!  I think some of you might have thought I had fallen off the face of the earth, and I am so sorry I have not written in over a month!   So let me go back and quickly recap on the last month and half's occurrences.

          Shortly after writing my last two blogs, my team and I were divided up into two different teams according to where we felt the Lord leading us to do ministry for the second semester, whether in Kenya or Swaziland.  As for myself I am going to Swaziland for the next semester!  After our new Swazi team was formed, the fifteen of us all went down to spend the next two weeks there getting familiar with the ministries, people, and culture. 

          We lived out in the bush for those two weeks on a little homestead with cows, chickens, ands goats running rampant, poop everywhere, outhouses, bucket baths, no running water, and little electricity.  Those were great times! during those two weeks we learned how to catch baby chicks, sweep the ground with a branch, travel using public transportation, learn a few words in SiSwati, and make new friends with the people we are going to be working with in the coming months.

          As for my ministry internship for the last for months I am not sure as to what exactly it will look like but I will go ahead and tell you what the plan is. 

          In Swaziland a great majority of the children are orphans but there are no orphanages.  Because of the family value of the Swazi culture, when a child's parents die relatives and neighbors will take the child or children in.   Most of these homes and many others don't have money to feed all the children living under there roof.  So many different organizations have come into Swaziland and set up Care Points, which are central locations in many communities where kids can come and get a meal of porridge before school and pap(white, bland corn substance)  and beans after school.  The younger children who are either to young or to poor for school will stay at these Care Points and learn their colors shapes and numbers in English. 

AIM has set up eight different Care Points in which I wish to in charge of the health care of all the little children, which includes teaching the children about general hygiene like washing their hands and blowing their noses, giving them medicine for worms and skin lice, and giving them baths.
