Hello From SWAZILAND

Sawubona!!! Hello!
I will try my best to write as much as i can but i don't have much time so bear with me and show me grace with spelling errors, etc.
I have a story to start off with real fast. So...my group was supposed to come to the cafe to blog and email friends on saturday. however, it wouldn't work so we decided that on our way walking to the hospital that we would stop by the other cafe. Let me tell you that we pretty much walk everywhere. haha. SO....the walk to the hospital took about 1 and a half hours!!! yes, one and a half hours. It wasn't bad but what made it stink was that when we were going to the cafe it ended up being closed!!! so that definitley put a damper on things that we walked almost 2 hours and got no internet. haha
but it was good. we got to spend time together instead and pray and ready our hearts before going into the childrens hospital. I've never seen anything like it...I honestly have no words to describe it. There was so so so much pain and hopelesness. However there was this one little girl that was maybe 2 years old suffering of malnourishment and she just luaghed and smiled so so so much. That's what got me through....the joy and hope in her eyes.
after that we hitchiked so that we didnt have to walk back for 2 hours in the dark. it was so much fun.
sunday we went to church and it was so so so so much fun!!! i absolutely love there beautiful voices.
today we went to a few carepoints to get a feel of what we'll be doing for the next 3 weeks.
i fell in love with one little boy today called NANA. he is not even 1 yet and ahhh he is beautful. i also have already been peed on :) nothing like some african baby pee on ya.

oh yeah....we are living in Manzini right now...to be honest we are incredibly blessed and have it pretty easy. we are sleeping on mattresses on the floor. our team loves to snuggle and talk about poop. hahah. oh my word. im so thankful fo my team.
we are so diverse and its so cool to be goofy at one point and then another time gather around each other and pray intentionally and see how god has been working miracles and speaking to each of us. its so bizzare.
okay im about to have to go.
i ask for more prayer....i feel like theres this layer over my heart thats holding me back and im not sure what it is. pray that its broken off. pray for deliverance and freedom.
pray for my team of 15 and our 3 leaders. pray for the poeple of swazi!!!
THNKS
Anyway so we have been in swaziland since wednesday and boy its such an interesting country. It's one of the most beautiful places i've ever been too. The mountains are outrageous.
