Here are the most recent messages that we have received from the Lands in Swaziland:
Just a note to let you know that we're still here and active.
The past two days have been spent doing some organization work for several things we have planned for the future. Maggie is putting together a presentation to be given to the Sunday School at All Saints this Sunday. We have several pictures Maggie took of Trinity before we left and looking for pictures which Claire is going to send of some of our Sunday School classes. We'll present this and other material this Sunday.
We also interviewed an amazing Swazi woman, member of All Saint's, and the interview will appear in subsequent Diocesan communications.
Today we were scheduled to visit the Usuthu farm and Hospice, but chickened out because of high winds and rain and because the roads in that area are under construction. Actually, they're being rebuilt! Tonight, Ned and I are going to Rotary where we'll both speak, hopefully get some clarification on the container project and who will be coordinating from here.
I'm attaching several pictures. The first is one of Maggie in front of the now vacant Anglican Mission church at the Usuthu farm. The second is one of some young people at the coffee hour at All Saint's who raise funds each week by selling cakes, etc. The third is another one of the coffee hour with Ned in conversation with one of the Sr. Wardens, Ron Martin.
There will be more soon!
Yours in Christ,
Maggie & Dan
