I am COMPELLED! Plus, it blesses me SO much. The last couple of years of my life have been such a gift from God.<br /><br />Wyatt---Stories about Swazi kids or local folks? I hesitate to share anything more detailed about the people we know here in Jackson because of the fact that they are local and I don't want to share any details that would give them away. The things put on the internet have legs and a way of getting where you don't necessarily want them to go. But sometime in person I'd be glad to talk more openly. For African stories, you might want to start here: http://fiftyfriendsforswaziland.blogspot.com/2009/08/place-to-be-girl.html<br /><br />Wendy: You are most welcome! Maybe one day we'll end up in Africa at the same time and the same place. Wouldn't that be fun? Carole and I are hoping for it already. :DElysahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14417564858613501645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33548620.post-38486467173506212982009-12-02T10:26:27.587-06:002009-12-02T10:26:27.587-06:00Thanks Elysa, for this incredibly touching blog an...Thanks Elysa, for this incredibly touching blog and sharing your life and testomony. I am always so inspired and spurred on by your faithfulness and obedience, so please keep sharing your journey. Yes, we have people living and dying with AIDS right here. My husband sees far more than I do, since he is a Hospitalist. I hope God continues to break our hearts! I can't wait to go on your journey with you as you prepare and go back to Swaziland.Andy and Wendy Ingramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821536616243449482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33548620.post-49801167038928891412009-12-02T08:25:16.026-06:002009-12-02T08:25:16.026-06:00Could you share some of those stories?Could you share some of those stories?Wyatt Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580611892079902563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33548620.post-31275502566560967412009-12-02T08:19:49.094-06:002009-12-02T08:19:49.094-06:00Great post.

A girl we were taking to basket ball and kids church, her mother and the guy she was living with died of AIDS this year and we see MANY prostitutes and homeless people with it. I fully intend to adopt an HIV+ child as soon as Dean is ready.<br /><br />Thanks for all you do to change the world!Carole Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01665334842192702554noreply@blogger.com
