My dear friends,

I'm so sorry that it has been so long since my last update.  Life here has been very busy during these past few weeks!  I'm hoping that I will have time to write a more complete update this coming weekend.  Until then, here's the current info:

Our large group has been officially split into separate teams.  I have decided to join the Swaziland team. We'll be leaving this Thursday for Swaziland, and will be spending 2 weeks on a rural homestead there.  Please pray for direction for our team as we begin to make plans for ministry when we return in January.

In the meantime, we have had a bittersweet time wrapping up our time of ministry here in South Africa.  I had the opportunity to see many amazing things happen in the lives of the women and children that I came to love in Atteridgeville.  As we leave them, they will be in our hearts and our prayers.

Thank you again for reading my updates and for being part of my life - even while I am so far away!  I'll be filling you in again from the lovely Kingdom of Swaziland!

With love,
Katie
