Is it possible that its September?
Some how it does not seem to me that it is September. I was thinking this
morning about the excitement of returning back to school. Seeing old
friends, meeting new ones, the leaves turning colour and the weather turning
cold. Instead it is only getting hotter and greener here.
I survived Hebrews class. In fact I did more that survive the class, I
ended up with an A.
Babe Maziya is doing much better. There appears to be no complications from
the wounds. And his wife Dolly gave birth on Thursday to their second
child, a boy.
I have been using public transport more. Two or three weeks ago I went to
the capital, Mbabane and stayed with one of the pastors there. She took
Melissa and I to the hospital on Saturday to visit the children's wards. We
may complain about the conditions of hospitals in North America, but we
really should be praising God. The patients are at the mercy of the doctors
and there was one little boy who had both his arms amputated due to
complications of swelling. Another baby had to have her thumb amputated
because an IV was not put in correctly. I am not sure how that would
happen, but the thumb was completely black-dead. I spoke in 3 of the wards,
and 6 people came to know the Lord.
This past weekend was District Conference. I attended on Saturday and
Sunday morning. I did not understand most of the business as the meetings
were conducted in siSwati. I did however observe and participate in the
Molihambe-the evangelism offering. Each church throughout the year raises
funds that go towards building new churches. This event takes over two
hours as the church names are called and the members, as well as anyone
connected with the church assemble at the back. They then proceed to sing
and dance up the aisle and lay their gift on the table. My church got
second place for our region. One church gave a goat as part of their
offering. It was a joyous occasion.
