Saturday: We went to SACRO for our team ministry. It was a blast; the pictures are all from it. We played with the kids, chasing them around, carrying them, and made necklaces with them, and did outlines of them, that they will color on Tuesday. The kids, ah man, I wish you all could have been there to see their faces when 14 of us popped out of the van and were there to spend time with them. I'm not usually a very sentimental guy, but these kids just touch your heart. But it was awesome. I loved it, and I know that it meant something to the kids.

Friday: Went around town to give out sandwiches. How it went down is, before going out, I went to stop in a fabric shop to pick up some yarn to crochet with, and started talking to this one dude, about Rastafarianism, (Yeah it's usually how most conversations start with strangers) and explained to him that I only had the dreads, and nothing else, then got to talk to him about how I could be a Christian and have dreads, which was cool, then I asked if there was a spot around town where a bunch of bums live, he consulted with the ladies in the shop, and told me that he would take me around. So I followed this man, whose name is Alek, and he helped translate for me, because of the 10 people I handed sandwiches out to only 1 knew any English and that was mainly thank you and hello. So what's gonna happen is that since most are disabled, I met one blind man, 2 paralyzed and in wheelchairs and one without a wheelchair, is that since most have their own spot go back and see them on Wednesday, with Alek and I think Ben is going to come with me, and we'll do the same thing, hand out sandwiches and pray for them, and then hopefully by then, I'll have time to get a hold of a Zulu bible that Alek could read out of to the people. So yeah, prayer for that would be awesome.

Other news: Real Life Team takes off on Wednesday, and leave for back home on Friday. Prayer for their safety would be awesome.

Other sad news: Tessa from our team is taking off on Wednesday. She's gonna go home to be with her sister who's getting married soon and wants to be a part of that. So if you can keep her in you prayers about safety and getting adjusted back to Stateside that would be much appreciated. And Elisa from the Manzini Team is leaving also on Wednesday. She's going back to her family who just lost her grandma, and to patch some things up back home, so all the same prayer requests for her too.

Well, the time is winding down for me and the rest of the team… A month from Tuesday and we'll be in the Jo-Berg airport. Man, time flies. I can't believe 4 months have almost gone by.

Oh good news, I can't remember if I shared it or not, but God blessed me by allowing me to get my summer job back at UAF working with the Native Alaskan high school students, which starts up on the 1st of June, which will give me about 5 days to get readjusted to being back home before starting up with that. But I do have something when I get home. So, that's an awesome praise.

God bless, and as I've started praying be "blindsided by blessings." Let God reveal His majesty to you in ways you never saw coming. Yeah.
