Settling in

Hi everyone! We arrived safely at Thokoza Centre in Swaziland on Saturday around 4 pm. The drive from Johannesburg was about 5 hours with stops through customs. It was a mostly rainy ride, but very scenic! The land is unbelievably beautiful and we got a feel for rural life driving through the countryside in South Africa.

We were greeted with a wonderful reception at Thokoza Centre! There were new and old friends like Archdeacon Londoloza Shongwe, The Rev. Orma, Fr. Charles Kunene's wife and son, Glenda from the HIV/AIDS office, and Pat from Brechin. (I apologize for not getting all of the names, but we'll fill in those blanks soon!)

We were very tired after so much travel, but glad to be in our new home for the rest of our trip!
