Oh my!! I can't believe that its already March! Time is flying by faster than I expected, where did it go?? Since my last blog God has continued to rock my socks off, seriously, lets just take a moment to thank Him for all He's done. "Lord, I just want to start off by thanking you for everything that you're doing here in Swaziland and back home in America.  Thank you for all the girls who got saved last week at Cherish. Thank you for continually working through us, for opening the hearts of the young ladies that we're working with. Father, I thank you for all of my friends and family back home, for using them in my life on a daily basis. I lift them up and ask that you'd bless them greatly. I thank you for bringing in all of the support that AIM needs me to raise. Lord I ask that you'd bring in a bit more, so that Mom and Dad can be reimbursed for all the money they so graciously gave to my expenses while I've been here.  Father, I pray that you'd be blessed by us today, that we would praise you in all we do. Amen."

The Lord is working here, in Swaziland, in amazing ways! Some of my friends go to Hope House a couple times a week and my friend Tyler goes especially to visit Margaret. Since the first day we visited and God performed His miracle of making her walk again, He has continually strengthened her legs. Tyler tells me that now she's able to walk around the Hope House property. Praise God for His everlasting healing powers.

About a month ago we took a visit to the hospital in Mbabane where I met a 2 year old, Bongiwae who had hydrocephalus, and her mother. They needed 10,000 Rand for her to be taken to South Africa and get operated on. Most of this money had to be given by the government because 69% of all Swazis are below the datum line. Of that 69%, 37%  of the population is in extreme poverty.  The government here isn't very big on helping out those in need. So to be honest, the situation looked a little hopeless. A couple of us prayed over her, that God would bring in the money so that the beautiful little girl in our arms would be able to survive.  I left sad, asking God to take care of her. We went back to the hospital just a couple of weeks ago and Bongiwae was gone.  A lady that was still there said that she had been taken to South Africa, had the surgery, and was now back home getting better. SERIOUSLY!! PRAISE THE LORD!!

He is continuing to rock my world daily, weather it be small things like a hug from one of my beautiful sisters, or  revealing His grace through our Cherish lesson. Our Lord and Savior is truly inspiring me, more and more, day by day I desire His heart. Please pray for my team, that we would continue to grow closer to Him as a whole. Some of us are going to Mozambique the first week-end in April with our church, to a conference at the mother church. Please pray for safety, health, and that God would shine His light through us to those of the church we're going to visit.  Please also keep my health in your prayers, I've been healthy so far, and have started taking my vitamins, but have a terrible immune system...

OH!! And tomorrow (Thursday, March 12) my ministry partners and I will be meeting the king!! Today at school we met a man named Mufuso, who owns 5 schools around Swaziland. He is in the kings regiment, and is friends with him. After talking for a bit we asked if we could meet the king and he said yes!! Please pray for us, that God will give us the words to speak to king Mafutsu, for boldness, and an open heart for the king. This is something that we've been praying for, so we're very excited that God has finally opened this door.

Thank you all again so much for all of your love, prayers, and support!! Praise the Lord for bringing in all the money that I need to pay to AIM!!! I love you all and pray that you will be blessed.

Kuthula na nathando sihlobo sami. (Peace and love relative of mine.)
