"Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things…"

      Psalm 98:1

This week was full of celebration!  There were 10 students in my first grade class that didn't have a uniform because their parents couldn't afford one. Because of the generosity of many of you, and the financial support you gave to my school, I was able to purchase each of them a uniform.  The looks on their faces were priceless and it brought joy to my heart to see them so excited. They no longer have to stand out and wear their dirty, torn clothes but they get to wear a new, clean uniform- it's the least that they deserve. Here is a picture of some of the students that received uniforms.

This past Saturday the team went to Mantenga Falls for a picnic, swimming, and a baptism service. I was baptized by my leaders Kate and Marissa! Here is a picture of the beautiful setting and the glorious moment. I thank God for His grace and putting a new song in my heart.

For Easter, we traveled to Nsoko, a city in the southeastern part of Swaziland. The land is beautiful but the situations are tragic. There is extreme poverty, minimal medical care, dirty water, and too many orphans. The service included an ordination of a Swazi pastor, the dedication of the large piece of land for a children's village to be built, and of course singing and dancing. It was a celebration of what God is already doing in this area and what He is going to do in the future.  

I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter! As always, thank you for everything.
