Hey Team,
I will begin this post by letting you know I have another 10 minutes of internet usage left before we'd have to pay for more, so I apologize for any typos and the brevity due to the time constraints. We made it into Johannesburg last night and got into our hotel rooms shortly after 11 PM local time. So far, we have completed quite a few items on our to-do list.
-Survive the flight (Check)
-Adapt to a new sleep schedule (Kinda-Check)
-Successfully see all of our luggage come out at baggage claim (96% check - unfortunately, Laurel, Gina, and Matt are without one of their personal bags each, but we are assured they will be to us in Manzini tomorrow).
We arrived late last night to an amazingly large crowd cheering and chanting us on, it was the craziest thing I have ever seen (ok, the crowd was actually there waiting for the professional soccer team to come through, but we felt like rockstars none the less).
As soon as we get into Manzini tonight, we hope to give you a more complete update.
Thanks again to all of you for all your prayers and support and check back for more.
(P.s. Mom, does this count as checking in?)

Mkhombokati
The Mhkombokati CarePoint serves approximately 200 children, many of whom are orphans and specifically rely on the CarePoint for food. Over the years, several short-term mission teams from Capital have traveled to Mkhombokati, bringing thousands of pounds of supplies and bringing back knowledge – learning from the children and adults on the ground what their needs truly are and how we can help them most effectively.
