Well, I want to apologize for my lack of blogging. This semester has been an interesting one to say the least. I've been back in school and have actually been doing quite well (school wise). This week is finals week and then it's Christmas break for about a month. It will be a good break, but a difficult one. I miss my Swazi family and my team and most of the time I find myself thinking back to the lives that touched mine over the past year. It's hard to find myself surrounded by a country of indulgence when there are others that have never known indulgence. I'm trying to avoid being a grinch this Christmas, but I'm also trying to learn how to transition and live as a missionary on and off the field. I put together a small collage of photos that mean a lot to me, but there are so much more that I couldn't fit on the collage!

 I'm sure you've seen some of these photos before, but I've tried to give a view of what my summer looked like in Swaziland. I pray that you and your families are blessed this year! I'll try to be more diligent at updating you with all that is going on in my life! Your prayers are welcomed and I value your prayers and support more than you know!
