9 days ago, we departed South Africa and made our way over to Swaziland, once again, in our new team of 15 people. We moved into our new homestead where we were about to live the life of the local Swazis. These past 9 days have been a shock to me because I didn't realize how much of the culture I was missing out on by not living with the people. We have faced challenges such as, no electricity, no toilets, sometimes no water, walking in intense heat and more. There have been things that just make us confused sometimes and laugh at how bizarre this life is for us. For example, we go to sleep at about 8 when the sun sets, and get up at 4 or 5 when the sun rises... then there was the time I went to bed and there was a huge snake trying to get in the door, and when I woke up this morning with a black widow on my arm. It's really quite the interesting life. :) The life these people live is amazing. My eyes have been opened to a new kind of world and I respect and admire the Swazi people so much more than I already did.
