Wild flower bouquet. These flowers grow wild all over. They are so pretty.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Twenty days until we board the plane for the l-o-n-g trip back to the U.S.\u00a0 Our time here has passed so quickly.\u00a0 We have kept busy with the jobs given to us that will help to spread the Gospel to those who have not heard, to those who need to hear God’s words to meet the needs of their hearts and lives.\u00a0 It has been encouraging to speak personally to people who listen to TWR every day. All who we have talked to have said they would like to hear\u00a0 more teaching more hours of the day.\u00a0 To hear from missionaries in parts of Africa where TWR is their source of encouragement and teaching as they serve Him,\u00a0 people who meet around their radio to worship together as there is no\u00a0 church,\u00a0 changed hearts, these are the reasons why we are willing to leave our families and home and serve wherever God wants us.<\/p>\n

\"The

The 7:00 a.m. drive into town. This begins where we turn out onto the highway and for the 2 miles into town. \u00a0Traffic is at a crawl from about 6:30 to 8:30 am on weekdays.<\/p><\/div>\n

It is not unusual, as I walk through town, to enter a shop and hear Christian music and\/or Biblical teaching.\u00a0 Sometimes it is in English and sometimes in SiSwati, the local language or Zulu which most Swazis also speak and understand. These programs are broadcast by Voice of the Church, a local station TWR helped to start.\u00a0 It is local pastors and teachers and is run by the Swazis.\u00a0 TWR personnel provide technical assistance when needed. It is amazing how far reaching the testimony of this local station is.\u00a0 People who travel through or near Swaziland hear the Gospel broadcast by this station.\u00a0 With the heavy Muslim influence in this area, to have a strong voice for the true living God is important.<\/p>\n

Wednesday was a busy day.\u00a0 I did laundry in the morning and then decided to accept a friend’s offer to ride to Mbabane with her and her family for piano lessons.\u00a0 That meant taking all the clothes off the line and hanging them on a clothes rack.\u00a0 I did this so they would not be hanging in the sun all day and because there is a very real chance that they might not be there when I return if they are left outside.\u00a0 The clothes did dry on the rack just fine and I only had to hang the towels back out when I got home.<\/p>\n

We started to Mbabane around 11:30 for the children’s 12:30 piano lesson.\u00a0 The place was located in the hills near Mbabane and is called Brackenhill Lodge<\/a>, a bed and breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
