Sunday was a beautiful day. It threatened to rain, but only sprinkled a bit.
The church service was quite good. Music lively and pleasant. Message straight from God’s Word, as usual, and was from 1 Thess. 1:1-10. This morning, Pastor Paluku Bushu brought the message. He and his wife are missionaries from the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) with Campus Crusade. They came to Swaziland not knowing English or SiSwati. They now speak excellent English and will soon be leaving for Texas where they will join their daughter and her family. They do plan to return to Swaziland to visit their children who are staying in Swaziland and their families. The Bushus are leaving behind some very cute little grandchildren, that I know they will miss, but they have some in Texas to enjoy, too.
Their children, who live locally, gave a special song for their parents.
After church, we had a braai for the Bushu family with salads and dessert.
We left for home around 3:00 and spent a quiet evening at home.
I have attached a gallery of photos for your enjoyment, especially those who have fond memories of Swaziland and know or are related to some of these very special people. Keep these Brothers and Sisters in Christ in your prayers.
Thank you for posting pictures of old friends! Nice seeing Pastor and Marsha, we enjoyed them a lot. Saw many others I recognized, but not exactly sure first names.
I was telling Mark about learning a lot there. You don’t have to sing exactly what the hymn book says, harmonicas and accordions are nice additions, someone in the pews starting a spontaneous song during transitions , and you can never have enough potlucks and church family get togethers.
Love you and miss you!
Yes, we are truly enjoying it.
Love you and miss you, too. Wouldn’t it would be wonderful to have enough money to bring the whole family here for a vacation. Some might stay.
