Some things really are crazy in March. For one thing, I'm actually second in our family bracket challenge. I've lost Michigan State and Duke from my Final Four, and I was counting on Wisconsin to beat Syracuse, but apparently most everyone else is getting shaken up even more. I'd say that it's because I haven't seen a basketball game all year, but even when I'm in the states, I only catch a couple.
This morning I met a couple farmers from Oregon. They're stopping here with the AfricaWorks crew on their way out to Zambia. They partner with some farmers out there, and have been doing so for something like fourteen years. So not only did I get to meet fellow Partners Worldwide people (they were doing it before it really existed), but for about 48 hours, the CRC was statistically overrepresented in Swaziland. I've heard best estimations put the number of Americans in SD at about 300. So if 3 of us are CRC, that makes 1% of the American population here CRC. If it was that high in the US, we would quadruple the size of the denomination. It's also just fun to be connected to people I've never met before and who show up in Swaziland.
Anyway, have a good weekend,
-Ben
