We’ve arrived!

WE MADE IT TO MOZAMBIQUE!!! We could sure feel God answering your prayers. An extra measure of grace was poured out on us as we traveled half way around the world in 4 days. God worked out the many quirks along the way. Most of the security agents were very patient and helpful as we got our entourage out of coats and shoes and passed all of those and our bags and stroller and computer and more bags and car seat and more bags through the many x-ray machines.

Not only did we arrive without loosing a single child but we got all of our luggage here as well and without paying any extra. Back when we got our tickets we were told that we couldn’t check our bags all the way from Seattle to Mozambique but that is what happened, at least to most of them. We were able to check the one bag that came out in Johannesburg back in along with some extra carry on luggage for our flight to Mozambique.
As we have compared stories with the other missionaries this was quite a miracle. From what we can tell, only a few things were broken and nothing was stolen.

Most of us are adjusting fairly quickly to the 10 hour time difference and summer instead of the snowy winter we left in Seattle. A couple of fans have helped ease our sweaty discomfort.

Please continue to pray for our adjustment. Then praise God for the countless ways he has blessed us, not the least of which is the privilege of serving Him in Africa and having friends like you to pray us through the challenges we face.
