Even though we got a Reality Check in the beginning of our stay, God really opened up our relationships with Big Boy and Fortunate along with kids. God allowed me to really connect with the husband and we sat out on the porch and just talked about culture for a couple of hours. Liina was also in the kitchen and connecting with Fortunate as they she helped make them spaghetti for the first time while also talking about cultures. I will say that at first they were a little afraid of Italian spaghetti. Fortunate loved it, husband tried a spoonful, and the kids had a difficult time eating it. It was just to different for them. But late at night, I did see the husband take a full plate of it and eat it as we watched tv and continued to talk.

The next morning, we were outside playing with the neighborhood children. I had taught them English camp games the time before and they begged to play them again. We had more kids, no music, so we just sang and danced and then called out the different things like knight, horsemen, cavalier, or jellyfish. You can see from the pictures. We also had a fashion show where we made clothes from plastic bags. In between plastic dresses, different kids got up, held a stick up as if it were a microphone and sang a song either from Beyonce, T.I., or Swazi kids song. It was fun for us to be part of this. I also played netball (keep away) and soccer with the guys.

Also the community was more inviting this time. We had many people stop on the street and talk with us. We have even been invited to stay for a month there or a year, but we said that we can't at the moment. Also, Big Boys father is the chief's village. Culturally, this is a big deal. Big Boy's father heard that we here again and he wanted to make sure he meet us. It was great to here from him and also it said it was great that we are here. He also wishes us to come and spend more time in the community. He is also an elder of the community, so if there is problems he is called in to help solve or make decision in the matter. He was a really cool grandpa.

All I can say is that we had another amazing time. I know that when we leave, we will miss the openness of this warm culture. We will miss living in a community where everyone knows everyone. Where you can just stop by someone's porch and have a conversation.
