Ministry continues to get sweeter by the week. This past week we have a new addition to the ministry at the care-point: Zenele. She is a 23 year old Swazi lady. Zenele is wonderful, and very good at teaching the children. It is a perfect picture of locals impacting their community for Swaziland.
We average about six younger children in the morning for the teachings. Each morning we go to the children's homes and gather them up. We have been working on the alphabet, numbers, counting, and a bible story. Each week we stick with the same bible story so the children will really remember it. Last week we told the story of Zachieous. This week we are teaching the story of Jesus washing the disciples' feet. We are going to wash the children's feet on Thursday and paint their toe nails. And we are going to have the children wash the Gogos feet as well.
We are spoiling our little baby boy rotten. His name is say-to(it is written the best way it sounds for your sake). Last week say-to's mom put a dress on him, because there weren't any clean clothes for her to put on him. We got some soap to her, and the children had on clean clothes yesterday. Another little girl has stolen my heart. Her name is Nahebo(actually has a click in it, but written how it sounds). Nahebo is about 5 years old, she is a very quiet little girl. She keeps her head down and is very shy. I know there has to be more to her situation. When I pick her up she is stiff as a board, because she doesn't know how to be loved. She falls asleep most days. I feel like there is an abusive situation and neglect. Her nose is always running (we have been giving her medicine for that). She is very smart, but lacks confidence when we teach her one on one. So we have been really encouraging her as we work with her. We found out yesterday that she started school. Grade one. I'm really excited for her.ย Please keep her in your prayers.
