Kelly – The man who kept us entertained for hours on a bus
ride with games that encouraged the team to accuse and be suspicious of
everyone. But his awesomeness didn’t end
there. He struck again during the power
outage out dinner, where he turned his (and consequently other people’s as
well) iPhone light and plastic water bottle into table top lamps.
Elliot – He is one of the awesome drivers for Adventures in
Missions who will be with us for most of the trip. This is the ultimate person you want to know
at the border. This swazi native
grandfather who could pass for 40 used his bashful charm (yeah, it’s a
thing) and got us all from South Africa to Swaziland without any one of us
getting questioned or filling out forms.
My hat is off for you Elliot.
Mark & Allison – These Alabama native Auburn fans have
been in Swaziland for over three years.
They moved both theirs daughters (ages 10 and 15 now) to this country
and have provided me with a whole different view of this culture that I may
have not noticed on my own. While
Swaziland may be lacking in infrastructure, government programs, and education,
their values are strongly intact. These
people live out the meaning of having a community, they are not wasteful, and
they love strongly. Mark and Allison
find the great qualities in this place, as well help guide them through areas
of growth. I am so thankful you are
here.
And lastly, Karen Mohr – I can’t say enough amazing things
about our fantastic trip leader. And
while I have reason to be biased, those of you that know her will know I am
simply speaking truth (with a little bias).
She has been an amazing leader who has prepared and coordinated this
team into what I must say is the most successful entry into Swaziland in Capital
Church history. (That, and she’s really pretty…) So thank you, thank you, thank you!
You just can’t help but love those amazing people…
