wow!

So . . . I think I have been too addicted to facebook as my means to keep connected! I have totally neglected to take the time to write down experiences and life as I live it! We have officially been back in Swaziland one year now, amazing! Experiencing some of the things that have been accomplished in the past few months are truly amazing. We had a handful of teams here this winter (American summer), and were truly blessed as they all put wind in our sails in different ways. Encouraging, just having some other Americans to connect with. Blessed, by all three teams in amazing ways! Overwhelmed, as we began to see some of the dreams that we have had come to life in front of our eyes. As for ministry we have continued with regional trainings for our churches in teaching, and equipping them on how to work with kids and providing for them some basic tools to get started. We held our first National Children's Rally in August expecting 200-300 kids and registered over 750! Amazing day for us! As for the family. . . Kylea and Kaden are finishing their third term of school and are on the countdown for Dec. 4, the last day of school before Summer and Christmas break! Kylea was selected as the only second grade girl for the cross country team! Carsten is currently potty training and doing well I might add. "Wee" trained after day 2 and dry upon waking up from naps and in the morning! Now just for #2, we are getting there though! He made his first successful deposit this morning! HA! Doug and I are doing great, we are enjoying making our house more a home, which helps in the kind of lifestyle we live, moving back and forth, everything seems so temporary sometimes, which can be pretty hard. I am still organizing all of the Kids ministries at the International Church here, baby thru age 12 and teaching one of the classes. Also have a Wed. morning bible study I lead in my home with 18+/- ladies! I hope to do more teaching, but for now that is what I feel God has for me with keeping my hubby and kids my priority first!
