This is my attempt at a quick blog. It is quite lame but enjoy....
Happy 4th of July!!! We started our walk across the country today. I walked 11 miles. The most I have ever walked at one time in my life. I was (am) so sore, but it felt good to exhaust my muscles for such a good cause. We are walking along the road, and 5 Swazi policemen walked with us the entire time. They wore their regular police uniforms – formal shoes and all and talked to us the whole time. We learned so much from their local and government employee perspective.
Tomorrow we go to our first care point. My body is so sore. I almost hope the film crew has to go off and shoot, so I can rest my sore muscles - but I am up for any part of the journey.
We got some wonderful interviews today from members of the SOS team. Their answers were inspiring and gave such personal and long term meaning to the walk. They are a wonderful group – each unique, entertaining and beautiful in their own ways.
We are all ready for a good nights sleep. I am ready to just dream. I miss being able to talk regularly with my family. I miss them so much!!!! Next year I want to bring them all back. Imagine walking across the entire kingdom! Crazy beautiful experience!

My Sweet Elkin,
ReplyDeleteI read your letter and it made me cry with love for you and what you all are doing. This is such a wonderful way to keep in touch with you. I wonder if there is a sell check. My body aches and wants to go back to bed for you, but my work day is laid out in front of me.
A heart full of love to you and passed around to every single person on the trip and all the things that you touch and feel,
Mom
Thank you! my love to you!!!

with all of you it's not just a saying, your are indeed WALKING THE WALK!
ReplyDeletean important line from a movie uttered by Stepin' Fetchit especially applies to you— "FEETS, DON'T FAIL ME NOW!

Our prayers continue as you walk across the land - "... how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news" Ro 10. May the Lord refresh you spiritually as well as physically each day of the journey. And may many Swazi people come to know and experience the love of the Lord Jesus Christ through your outreach. Give Rebekah K a hug from her family :)
