The exchange rate is around 6-6.5 Emalangeni (Swazi)/Rand (South Africa) to 1 US dollar, or 5-5.2 Canandian. So the grocery bill on June 4 was really between 25.00 and 30.00.

*Rooibos tea...well its not really tea, but like tea, very good, and necessary for entertaining company.
** Swaziland does not have one cent pieces, although South Africa does.

Thank you for your prayers. God has been good. Our flat is finished being painted, tomorrow the stove and fridge with be moved in, and we might be able to sleep there. Please prayer that we would be able to get some second hand living room furniture when we go shopping on Tuesday.
