Beautiful Souls

August 5: Today was amazing. We had the opportunity to go to a rural Swazi church (Agape Church) with about fifteen to twenty people, most of them children. They sang a lot at the beginning and in between speeches and such and their voices and harmonies are absolutely astounding!! You could feel the presence of the Lord even though we couldn't understand a lot of what was said. Beautiful, beautiful people. A little girl sat next to me in church and gave me a HUGE smile every time I looked at her. As soon as church was over she hopped right on my lap and gave me a big hug. Such loving people. Us westerners have a LOT to learn from these people. As a friend mentioned in her blog, this church service was not constricted by time. I think we were there for 3 hours, but it felt like 30 minutes because you were so enthralled by the presence of the Lord.

This video doesn't do their voices justice, but this is one clip from church.

Had the opportunity to go on another safari Sunday afternoon and were able to see a male lion up super close, elephants, walked up next to rhinos who then started attacking one another and then giraffes. Very cool...again.

We had a very brief time with our teams today preparing for VBS for the week at two different locations. Thus we've split our group of 32 people into two different groups as we'll be at two different care points for the week. I'll be at Bhobokazi which includes VBS, home visits and a house construction build.
