can you believe it? i was a little distracted yesterday writing the post, but i will try to make up for it. these are pics of our swearing in ceremony, wearing traditional swazi wear! that was on august 28th i think, so its been almost 2 months now! dang! some back ground. we live with the Myeni family in Nsubane which is near the south african border in south eastern swaziland. at our homestead there is our host mom and dad (make and babe) our brother and his wife and 5 kids. we have tons of cows, chickens and goats! including our lovely orphaned goats, annabelle and oliver. i love them, they are like our pets! we are getting close to the end of integration and will be able to do more "real work" soon. we are doing pretty well, there are definately ups and downs, but its becoming like home. ourcommunity is super rural... as in you walk for an hour and a half to catch the bus, and on the way you maybe see a person or two. not many people speak english, so we are practicing siswati quite a bit. we love hearing from all of you and miss you a lot! hope you enjoy the pics, love you! peace
