Hello again! Every time I sit down to blog I have the same debate about what to blog about and then something comes to mind. So here we go.

Library/ school: The library is up and kicking, nothing new since my last blog. The kids are really becoming interested and can't believe that they can take home books for free. On Friday, Grade 6 invaded the library and I checked out over 20 books. Going 0-20 is really exciting. Alright so I have a massive and I mean massive praise. Last Wednesday a lot of the kids were kicked out of school because they weren't able to pay their school fees. Carrie, the other girl working at the school with me, took a huge step of faith and said that she would raise the money for all of them, which is over $4,000. She told me and I didn't exactly know what to say. But she sent some e-mails and her mom spread the word and already (since Thursday) they've raised all of it and we are trying to build a school fees fund. It's absolutely amazing to me. First of all, Carrie taking that step is huge and I just praise the Lord that she did it because I think if God had told me to do that, I don't know what I would do. Also, I mean the Lord provides. If these kids aren't in school, they are on the street. The other thing is 1^st term exams start this week and if they hadn't been able to come back they would've missed exams and had to start the whole year over. To be in school is a huge privilege for them and it's hard to see kids that can't go because their parents don't have the money and the choice is education or food. Praise the Lord that He is providing. We were praying for the kids and God really laid on my heart that we are here this year for a reason. He just reminded me that nothing is random, but that He has a plan for these kids and He blessed us enough to make us a part of it. Praise the Lord!

International Church and youth group: This last Sunday, Michael, J.B. and I went to Big Bend with the youth ministry team to minister to a church there. Big Bend is about two hours away from our house and in the middle of nowhere Swaziland. It was a really small church, but you could tell that the people that were there truly had a heart for the Kingdom. Plus it was awesome to spend that time with the youth group kids. I'm going to miss them like crazy. We have a retreat coming up with the youth. We're going on April 25^th-28^th, please be in prayer that God will move on the trip. I'm really excited and it's going to be a lot of fun.

                This trip is flying by, I mean I really feel like it grew wings and is headed out of here. The school term ends on April 18^th, which means that's when my teaching is over. I'll still see most of the kids because they all live right next to me and know where I live, but it's still sad. Thank you again for all of your prayers!

Prayer requests:

-Praise the Lord for what He's doing at Ezulwini Catholic Primary School. He truly has a grasp on the lives of every kid.

-Please pray for our team that we'll continue to pursue Christ with everything and that we'll finish strong.

 God is Good!
