Journey to Swaziland, part 4

We had the privilege of celebrating Liz's 28th birthday together! Below are a few fun memories from the day. 


While we were at the morning farm devotions, Antje put out all the
cards and gift friends had sent to Liz. She really enjoyed the
letters from our COKCC family and the reese's cups!

The yummy restaurant where we celebrated lunch for Liz's birthday. 

Us at lunch. We all went around the table and shared what we appreciated
about Liz. Even though most of the team had only known Liz for less than
2 months, they were all very affirming and appreciative of the supportive
and loving role she has played on the farm. 


Beautiful sunset on the way back to the farm.

We found out that it is Swazi culture to dump water on the birthday girl's head!
What a fun tradition!
