Latest Breakthroughs

Greetings and love from Swaziland!

Been an exciting last few months here in Swaziland. Just a few of the
big things:

The Nave family (as you know) has officially moved to the new YWAM
property. It's been a challenge at times, but after the flooding
hot-water tank, the subsequent lack of water, and absence of phone
line, things have gone surprising well. :D Seriously though, its been
great for them being here and has allowed them to be more involved
with the DTS, especially in the evenings. And by the way... the
hot-water tank, and phone line issues have been sorted out.

While the water has continued to be a problem (see burst hot-water
tanks above), it seems to have come under control to some extent.
While we are still paying to have water delivered, our consumption has
leveled out and we've gotten into a reasonable routine. As well, our
neighbor has volunteered to give her well to us, which means that once
we install piping we should have an unending supply of water.T

However, arguably our biggest breakthrough has been that our Section
21 (Article of Association) has finally gone through! This means that,
after 2 years of waiting, we are officially a recognized organization
in the country of Swaziland! We can now open up a YWAM bank account,
legally own property, and sponsor students and staff for long-term
visas. We actually heard from our lawyer the day before the Naves
moved up to the new property - we felt that the timing was God's
encouragement to us that we are moving in the right direction.

More to come!
