Each one of them is Jesus in disguise." -Mother Theresa. Saturday, February 13, 2010. Loving God and People in Swazi. Tori and I.this Friday and I hadn't showered since Tuesday, thank you Africa. Lots has happened since my last update. I will give a short explanation of what we did each day this week. I absolutely love our translators and I have gotten to know them very well, they call me GoGo Jesse (gogo= grandmother). Here's some pictures from this week:. Crocodile pond; but didn't see any :(. There we...

Hope for Swaziland: Bus Yard Adventures

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise." -Mother Theresa. Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Yes that is my huge chin, BUT here is a tiny glimpse of public :) Now just multiply it x10 and you have an idea. I will start out by saying that this first week in Swazi has been very challenging for us. I wanted to share some of my raw thoughts and be transparent about the week with you. Of course we came with lots of expectations, which should have only been a hint to us that they would almost all be broken. Once on the g...

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise." -Mother Theresa. Monday, July 25, 2011. I Slept On the Side of the Road.in Africa. If you aren’t interested in all the details of my travel to Swaziland, you may want to skip out on reading this blog :). Here is what I was anticipating my travel plan to look like:. Flight from San Antonio to Atlanta: 3 hours. I met up with Katie and Kaci in Atlanta so that was a sweet reunion! Flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg, South Africa: 16 hours. We left the airport around 6...

Hope for Swaziland: The One With the Not So Clever Title
http://jessicabechtold.blogspot.com/2011/08/one-with-not-so-clever-title.html
Each one of them is Jesus in disguise." -Mother Theresa. Thursday, August 4, 2011. The One With the Not So Clever Title. I always try to come up with a title for my blogs that might catch your interest. With this blog, I couldn’t come up with one. That probably is correlated with the fact that this has been a strange week. I was talking with a friend a few days ago, and I was telling her that I don’t even know how to put in words some of the events that have gone on. I wanted to be prepared for the worst.

Hope for Swaziland: Sweet, Sweet Reunions
http://jessicabechtold.blogspot.com/2011/07/sweet-sweet-reunions.html
Each one of them is Jesus in disguise." -Mother Theresa. Monday, July 25, 2011. Sweet, Sweet Reunions. I've looked most forward to seeing this boy. What a sweet reunion it was. We woke up Sunday morning very thankful to have spent the night in a bed. The past 2 nights had been in the car and airplane. Church started at 11:00 and we couldn’t wait. As we walked down the road to church, we reminisced about last year. Talking about how it felt as if we were dreaming. After church I got to see Phinda, which w...

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise." -Mother Theresa. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. When it rains, it pours. So I don't have to write about the past few days when we come on Saturday, I will write about the first half of the week now :). Swazi boys like to do one stripe of toenail polish on their toes, and we noticed this one day at the football field so we decided to ask them if we could paint their toes and they said yes! Tuesday was first of all, incredibly hot! This week has been so much fun already&...

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise." -Mother Theresa. Saturday, March 27, 2010. Less than 30 days. Dad, here's that picture you wanted right? This week was so different from any other week so far. One of my favorites for sure: because we barely had any team meetings which seem to be the thorn in my side! Once again I apologize for the lack of content this week, I'm sitting in the internet cafe and it feels like a furnace in here so I'm anxious to get out! Here's some pictures from the week:. Because s...

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise." -Mother Theresa. Saturday, March 13, 2010. Our soccer boys warming up :). Pinda is the short one and I bought shoes for him today! Tori, Debbie and I with our husbands. Mine is in red! Eating Sugar Cane with Gogo. Never had it before so good! My 2 favorite men in Swazi. Soccer shoes before they practice. They bring a big bag and dump it out; whoever gets there. First gets the first pick of shoes. View from the Soccer field. On our walk by the field. Kaci and I were...
