It was so nice to hear that they are doing pretty good.Maybe just to share with you that if was home I would doing what in coming holidays.Christmas in Swaziland is a big holiday mostly to everybody, it is a public holiday.Tipical things that being done in this holiday mainly gethering, family gethering, frinds gethering sharing gifts and having spacial dinner together. It is again a big holiday for children.Children are getting more excited with this holiday becouse they being treated special, not like they are only treated in this holiday but I mean they are clothed with new clothes, given candies and money to some.At my family we go nomaly go to church and having a Sunday school theaching about Christ birth and then children are given some candies.I really miss this holiday but is fine with me to expirience another culture, so I'm looking forward to Tuesday, a lot have been told and I can't wait to have a snow Christmas.

Hello folks!!!!
Nice to be back, actually it's always feels good to share with you, you really incredable.
Well back with good news for the past weekend and the coming weekend, things are happening these days guys, you know I'm just feeling myself inbetween of warm hands![]()
Last weekend I was in Ohio visiting some friends. This couple actually I met them on MCC alumni gethering two last two months ago, if I'm not mistakenly.It was just a miraculaly mitting becouse what happened, we where busy signing the attendence list when all of aseddenly I heard somebody introducing her self to someone and saying something like Swaziland, I was stracked by the name of my country. The the bigging of the gethering she came to me becouse she had already heard that I'm from Swaziland, actually I could had introduced my self at first but I was so shy to do that since I was still in the transition process so I didn't know what is the polite way to confrant a person that you don't know![]()
They are Mr and Mrs Richer from Archbold in Ohio.They hosted and IVEPer from Swaziland in 2004 while she was in English classes. I was so happy,I couldn't believe my ears, I mean it was just an amazing connection.They invited me to their house at any time when I'm free, so I thought that would a good time for me last week since I was free.
They came to pick me up on Friday night, It was so nice.We left about 1700 hrs, tipicaly is the 2 hrs driving so we arrived around 21hrs.You know what
we went to bad at 1200 midnight, you may be wondered what were we doing, nothing apart from talking, talking, talking:!they are really nice and open, they can hold an convesation you know what I mean![]()

On Sa we went to a church, First Assemble of God in Fort Wayne for Jesus birth presentation, is was so incredable.The presantation was done a about 1530hrs and by then it started to snow
I was so excited becouse I love the snow and It was a good timing just to be outside while snowing, I know is not encoucarage to be on he road while snowing but I think it was good on m side just to have the whole journy whith snow, it was pretty.
But on Sunday it was another story, we couldn't go to church the roads were awful, so we had to stay indoor for the whole day, but I went outside to shovel the snow and making angels, It was fun.
This weekend I'm going to South Bend, that is 1 driving for a christmas dinner, so I'm looking forward to that.
Hope to come back again, oviously yes why not![]()
Take care, till again![]()
Ola, hello,ninjani!!!!!!!!!
I'm trying to acommodate Hispanic, English and Swazi people.
I hope we are still together guys
as I continue to share my expirience.I unbelievable that we are approching festive season. I started to notice when we receive details about our mid year conference and I was like I we really close to the mid year conference, this year s'been so fast than I thought.
My soccer is going well but I got an injury last Saterday, we were playing for our last game for the league which will continue to the elemination those who have win pretty much.We have been playing quite good with three wins on six games.So I got an injury on my ankle.Since you know that I'm playing an indoor soccer, it is too fast and is easy to get injured. It was so painful, on Sunday I couldn't go to church becouse it was difficult to walk, I was using a walking stick. But now is ok.
Hello!!!!
I'm glad to be back.
I can't believe that in couple of weeks to come we will selebrating CHRIST BIRTH,that shows how fast this year is moving but I can't waite for 22nd July.
After I'v been living an indoor life for a long time, God answered my prayers.This I found I massege in our massege machine says (hi!!this is Jeron.I mate Julie
she was a SALTer in Swaziland 2004-2005) in EMU and she told me that you are looking for a soccer team. I will come to pick up to a soccer game.)
I couldn't believe,I was over the moon.
I had a wonderful moment thart night,it was so nice,despit that I was not fit like I left SD and in to account that we were playing indoor which I was not used to but I had fun.
This was not the end as I was getting to know more people.
Two weeks down the line my church had a retreat for three days.When my parents asked me to come I was standing on the fance, WHY
You know, I thought that would be very long for me to be in the midst of many people, I need time just to be alone refrashing my mind you know![]()
I'm happy for my parents who seduced me to come becouse I had great fun since I got to know other people and we played socccer too and again it helped me a lot as I got to know more the way they worship.
After all this my life was kind of like changing a little bit from living an indoor life since now I had connection so now people were invited me for dinner to know more about me and my country at alarge and to know them.
A lot happened then to me that was fascinating, so please call again to get those good news.
Hi folks
Is good to be back is't![]()
I'm so cold, my hands are freezing hence arre will not write more, just kidding!!!
Last night guys we had a 3 feet snow,about 10cm.I was waking up at night by the light in my room, I was like what is going on outside, guess whaT? while pipping through the window for the sake of curiosity, I was welcomed by the beautiful snow, it was just awsome, I couldn't believe my eyes how everything is covered by the snow.I stood there by the window for hardly 15 min trying to come back into my sences as I was hooked by the Gods beautiful nature.
Well linking from the previouse post. Days past and weeks past as I was trying to bring things into normal. For the first time in my life keeping records of the day to day activities, WHY? I think what was happening in my life was the most importent think therefore I should not foreget even one think regardless that some of the thing was just awful, but I have to keep records of them.
Stay tuned for the best news, hear what happened about getting into fgreindships
I had a lot of chalenges in my life and a lot of udjustments.
I'm a sportperson,I really enjoy to do sports more especially SOCCER.
So the first thing I had in mind was to get a soccer team.Actually I use sports to create frienship, hence that was the same tool I had to create friendship here in Goshen.I started to look for a soccer team up and down and living a stone unturned up in vain.
I was so stressed about that, everything was fine around me but I wanted to play soccer.
My host family, they are just so nice.They played a major roll in my transition to US life.On weekends we could go out in many places, introducing me in many things, I loved that because I was reaching different people therfore I got to know other people because in midweeks I was living an indoor life;from work staight to the house untill next morning, which I didn't like it, I like to interact with people.
At work too, things were fine.Mary Ann, my supervizer, was at my house door on the first day to work ready to take me to work.I was a little bit naivourse about my work.Before I came here,I had the biggest worries;THE HOST FAMILY AND MY CO-WORKERS.I had aready seen my host family they were seems to be a good host, so at my back mind I was like I have cross the bridge of a host now I have see what my work holds for me.
She took me a tour around the whole building and introducing me to a lot of things, I remember coming back the next day, neither one thing I remember about what I was introduced on the previouse day.
I was told that I will be working in three different dipartment, I was so worried as to how can I work in different dipartement.The first dipartement is the THRIFT SHOP where Im mainly bringing the donations items to the flow and I'm working the MATERIAL RECOURCE CENTER where I'm packing kits and lasty I'm at the MCC GREATE LAKES where I'm doing any office work.When weeks past I got to discover the advantage of working in different dipartment.
In church,I was lost I couldn't feel the presence the Lord, this gave me not peace in my mind. I wanted to go back to the spiritual level I was before I came but in vain, their worship is just complictly different.Thanx be to God, couple Sundays past and gradually things were ok.
Please find more on the next post, take care.
