The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Matthew 13:44


 


On Wednesday we visited Kakotji again. I absolutely love this man, and his family. We got to meet a few more of his family members. Esther fed us again…pop, spinach, and slime. Lindsey and I managed to get down half of the pop. I ended up trying the slime, and then I asked Lindsey in front of the whole family if she was going to try it. She couldn't avoid it then- it was quite funny. The rest of our visit was so sweet. We found out that two of Kakotji's boys are pastors at the church on their homestead. It turns out that they are Zionists. I have been told that a Zionist is not a good thing, but later I asked my friend Treasure about it and she said that she doesn't like it, but its not satanic or anything. At the time alarms were going in my head- oh no! It was so cool, because at the very time I asked if I could read scripture before we prayed and had to leave five men from their church showed up. I spoke about the verse I typed above and Hosea. I believe the Lord has sent us there to instill truth. Kakotji told us that he sees the darkness disappearing and he has seen a light that he hasn't fully seen before. They said our words has shown them that they need to repent. The man said ever since we came to him at the hospital he has been "Jabula"(very happy)- his illness is very low. He said he was thankful that we came to speak the word of God. That we have encouraged them to move forward and grow as God wants them to away from darkness. It was so encouraging. God is so good! He also said that he felt like Zachieous sitting in the tree when we came to him at the hospital. It was the very story we were teaching the children at the carepoint that week. Praise the Lord.


Last Thursday Lindsey and I visited our friend Mildred. We had only met Mildred one time on the public transport two weeks before. She welcomed us into her home and cooked us a really nice meal and gave us ice cream. She told us more of her story. Mildred was married to a muslim man for 13 years, and 5 years ago he kicked her out of their home because he was seeing another woman. She went through a lot and at the same time her father passed away. She has two children with this man, but they are living with him in South Africa. I know she stills hurts, because talked about it a lot to us that day. She seemed as though she will be open to hearing the word of the Lord. I know the Lord wants to speak life and home into her life. Her home was one of the nicest I have seen in Swaziland. I felt so at home… it made me a little home sick. I can't wait to visit her again this week.
