Sauwabona umngami wami. (Hello my friend.)

I do not have much time to write, but I wanted to send a quick update. I no longer have the hospital as my only internship, but I am spending much time doing street ministry and the Hope House as well. I absolutely love doing street ministry, as I basically sit on the street with people every day. Most of the people I sit with, will be in that same spot every day so I have the opportunity to build relationships with them and minister to them. Right now, I have made many friends at the cultural market and spend a lot of my day with them forming deep relationships. The Hope House is the last resort for people with AIDS. It is similar to hospice care, and I spend time visiting with the patients there. Sometimes we just sit and talk, other times I read to them....or we even sing together! My days are busy as I go from one ministry to the next but I love each part of it. I am building relationships with the people all over Manzini, and I could not be more excited about what the Lord is doing.

It has been so encouraging to hear you are still praying for me and I thank you for all your support!

Walking in Faith,

Elisa
