This weekend I had the opportunity to take our Land Cruiser on its first trip out of town since we bought it. We left Friday for Mecuburi, a small town about 50 miles out of the city which seemed more like 150 miles because of the rough, dirt roads. I was very thankful to have […]

I suppose everyone that reaches 50 years of age can’t believe it actually happened. I am not sure why 50 seems like a much bigger deal than 30 or 40. Maybe it is the “half century” comments that come out. I would say I don’t feel like I’m 50 but I have had quite a […]

We made the 2,300 kilometer trip from Mozambique to South Africa in 3 days. Each day we started by 5:30 am for the cooler temperatures and to make sure we did not have to travel in the dark. Our main objective for the trip was to get our co-worker’s Land Cruiser to South Africa for […]

The Makhua saying here in Northern Mozambique that seems to express the culture to a tee is “Vakhani Vakhani”. It is the main answer one gets when asking the question “How are you?”. It means little by little. In other words though one is not doing great, little by little we are moving along or […]

I guess the big news in November was my emergency flight to South Africa for gall bladder surgery. I am so thankful it did not happen while Lisa was gone! It was really neat to see the Lord going before us each step of the way starting with providing the right people here in Mozambique […]

In the beginning of September we took on the challenge of caring for Toto, an 8 year old for a few weeks while his father was out of town. He kept us “hopping” and it was a learning experience for us in many ways. It was a time for him to experience new things as […]

In July we were excited for our friends, David and Fitina, refugees from Congo who after many years of waiting finally had the opportunity to move to the United States with their two children. They seemed to have made a smooth transition all though I am sure it has not been without many challenges. David […]

In May we decided it was time for Lisa to go to South Africa to try and get some help with her constant health issues. In the end the Lord provided for me to accompany her. We were blessed to be hosted by Peter & Cathy who opened their home and helped us get to […]

Lisa and her friends finally finished up a sewing project that took far more time than they originally thought. All the extra time was well spent developing a deeper level of friendship while passing on her love for sewing to the ladies. Only the Lord knows how He is using the conversations that revolved around […]

We welcomed the 2012 with a small group of our church family in an all-night prayer vigil. We enjoyed singing, praying and yes, even eating. Our Mozambican church family continues to be a blessing and encouragement to us. It was good to have co-worker, Fernando back from Brazil January after my “solo flight” in the […]
