Why is Africa so cold?

Hello everyone!
I am alive and well in Africa! No I have not been eaten by any wild animals or anything else which would eat me here! no, I am not burning up nor do I have a nice tan yet it is actually quite the opposite here. We are in the mountains which by the way is absolutely gorgeous especially when the sun sets and rises. This pass week has been a week of learning the culture and starting to learn the basics of language. We learned things such as the proper way of handshakes and greetings. We also learned that they do not date here but you have special significant others that you are seeing which I thought was quite interesting. We also got to go out into the city. Swazialnd is known for there beautiful candles and glass and we got to go to both a candle and glass factory and watch them make both of these items. It was really cool and it is really pretty! We also have gotten to go to the market which was quite interesting in itself! Then to top the week off we went to a Swazi church yesterday. It was really interesting though i did not really understand much becuase it was all done in Siswati. My partner and I got to go to the front of the church and introduce ourselves and the work we are doing here to the church with a translator of course. It was really cool because the church just meets in a little cinder building. You sit on wooden benches for church and the place was very full and it a service full of clapping and singing. These people can sing. It was really cool. The church went for like hours, we got there around 11 and did not leave til like 2. It was really good. Well, I have to go for now! Thanks all you for your prayers and encouragement!
