Wednesday was my off day this week.  The 3 guys that I live with and I went cliff jumping at Mantenga falls.  I hadn't been there since November, and this is the place that I was getting baptized on Saturday.  The current was real bad due to all the rains we've been receiving so we decided to do some climbing instead.  We climbed up 3 different waterfalls.  Maybe one hundred feet each.  It was crazy because we weren't using ropes, and the climb was almost totally vertical.  After almost an hour and a half of climbing we reached the river on top of the third waterfall.  I wish I had a picture so you could appreciate the amazing view.  I was overwhelmed a little bit thinking how amazing it is for God to look at the earth from his view, and how many beautiful views like that one there are for us to find, and well 350 feet up is a little bit of a height issue for me.  When we climbed down to the bottom it was incredible to get into the cool water of the falls.  It is really nice to be home with my team.

Thursday and Friday I went back to ministry.  We planted 7,800 onions on Thursday and worked on fixing some big irrigation lines.  The conversations I had at work were the best ever.  Sanele has been reading a couple amazing books I borrowed to him.  One of them is about understanding what a real relationship with Jesus Christ looks like, and the other is called "The Heavenly Man."  I wasn't sure if he'd been reading them, but the first thing he said to me was, "I think God is transforming my life through these books."  Praise you Lord!  My boss has also been struggling with his boss and the staff he works with.  No more of that I say.  I'm going to meet with them on Tuesday about all this crap.  No more issues, promises that weren't met, and immaturity!  The sword I'm bringing to the meeting will be triumphant.  Also, I decided what I'm doing for the guys I work with before I come back to the states.  I'm sure that Sanele will be living for Jesus before I leave, and I recently read the scripture about the prodigal son.  I told Sanele that the feast will be prepared when he comes home.  I'm gonna buy the fattest goat I can find, and we're gonna cook that bad boy up.  It will be a feast welcoming another soul to the kingdom.  Friday Sanele came with me to an amazing teaching, and he got to here a preacher with the fire of the holy spirit preaching major truth.  Pray that the message hit him hard.  He's just starting to realize that Jesus wasn't a teddy bear man, but he was a loving man of authority, truth, and the father dwelled in his whole.  What a man!  I went out to the rural area for the rest of Friday.  A family had invited a few of us out for some watermelon.  I don't pass up food!  Plus there were a couple of boys I hadn't seen for a while out there.  It was an incredible afternoon. 

Saturday is the day that it was made known to heaven, hell, and earth who lives in me.  We went back to the Mantenga Falls.  After some cliff jumps and some swimming I stood in the water that was about to clease my heart.  I asked God for complete death to all the bad in me so that He could make more room for Christ to work in my life.  In the bible it talks about ripping out your heart of stone for one anew of flesh.  In 2 Corinthians 5:17 it talks about giving up the old to become new.  I stood in the water and testified to all that were there that Jesus Christ is my Lord, Savior, and the only thing in me worth something.  My good friend Jamie baptized me.  Matt and Ben layed hands on me as I was under the water.  30 seconds it took me to die.  I have never heard such righteous words from the Lord as I heard that day coming out of Matt, Ben, and Jamie's mouths while I was under that water.  On my blog page there are a couple pictures of the baptism, and when I get home I'll show you the video.  The cliff jumps were amazing again as usual!  I did the 60 footer twice!

This week at our house in Manzini I'm the team leader of the house.  The Lord is doing huge things in this group of people I live with.  After only one day as team leader I am praising God for what he's already done, and what he's going to do in the team this week.  I am just beginning to see the man in me.  God is raising me up to be a man driven by the interest of His heart.  Once a boy, growing into a man, always seeking to become more of a man of God.  Please pray for God to do some crazy things in us this week!  Know that in everything you do and are doing God is getting glory from that.  Keep fighting for the kingdom of light,

Your brother in Christ,
