Arrived!

This was written last night but couldn't send it:
So we've arrived. 11 hour flight to JoBurg then 1 hour flight to Manzini in Swaziland. Met at the airport at 1pm today by Helen Ward who gave us a wonderful tour of Mbabane & Elusitweni, showing us the INCREDIBLE amount of work that Teen Challenge are involved in, from orphan homes to argricultural programs, to life skills schools, leadership training, to drug rehab. Helen and her husband Kevin  (who pastors Potters Wheel church) have pioneered and overseen this work for 14 years.  Excited about tomorrow as we get to meet some of the youngsters who are benefitting from Teen Challenges support.

Weather is SO hot, bit sticky too. We have a lovely room at Helen & Kevin's but will be staying in one of the cabins on the village tomorrow. We spent this evening chatting with Kevin about the work & the issues within Swaziland, which was fascinating.

Missing you all, especially you Naomi, Kieran and Maddi XXXX  But know that you're all in safe hands. We really appreciate our amazing families for everything they do for us xxxxxx
