We are leaving Worcester and going to Swaziland, finally!  Now don’t get me wrong outreach here has been great!  While we are out serving it is awesome, but when we get back to the base we realize we are still here.  It was getting hard for the team because we didn’t feel like we were really on outreach.  So when we heard the news that we were leaving this weekend we were all very happy!  We leave Sunday afternoon, hop on a train for 24 hours then reach Johannesburg.  We will spend the night in Jo-burg and then take a bus from there to Mbabane, Swaziland. 

 

So now comes the hard part… deciding what I need for outreach and what I don’t need.  I am trying to take my big backpack and a purse.  Today I am doing a practice pack because tomorrow we have to put all our other stuff into storage while we are gone.  I know I can do it, hopefully.

 

As of now these are the tentative plans for our time there.  The first week we are in Swazi we will be going to schools, orphanages, and hospitals.  The second week we are staying with a church that is involved with HIV and AIDS in the community.  We will be helping them out wherever they need us.  From May 5^th to 16^th we are staying at a AIDS orphanage and helping there.  There are children there that have AIDS or have been orphaned because their parents had AIDS.  We don’t know what we are doing after that until the end of outreach.  Plans could always change though.  That’s why they tell us to always be flexible.

 

I will not be taking my laptop with me because there is no internet at the places we are staying and there isn’t going to be a secure place for it all the time.  I am going to do my best to post on here or send a mass e-mail.  If you want your e-mail address to be included e-mail me and let me know, all4him72@yahoo.com.
