Here is a quick update on things ... We returned from Mozambique on the 12th. The Whispering Pines team did not fly out until Saturday the 15th so they stayed the night at our house on Friday. We love that the Lord has allowed us to use our home 3 times already since we have been here.
We had a great outreach in Matsilele. It was much hotter than the outreach in Mabuzane. It was good to be back in that village and see the people we meet in 2003. Alicia was not able to see her friend because she was in another village visiting her mom who was not well.
Mark left this morning for Mozambique and he will be gone for 4 days helping with Pastor Training in Dumela.
We bought a washing machine on Thursday and picked it up on Friday. I was able to start doing laundry yesterday. This morning I did 4 loads and now I am out of clothes pins and room on the line. I still have several more loads to do. We are waiting to buy a dryer until we find one with a decent price. Things are not cheap here. To get a "regular" sized dryer here it will cost around $600. So I think we will wait since we have so many other things that need to be purchased first.
We received word that our personal belongings will not arrive for another month. This is fine really because it will give us a chance to get some the things fixed around the house before it arrives. We need to redo 2 bathrooms and take a stage out of the living room and plaster and paint to walls. Most of the house is just face brick and it is dark so we are hoping to plaster and paint soon.
We still do not have Internet at our house yet so my updates are short. We are all doing good and we miss you all very much.
When Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20

But... I like the stage.
We love you so much! It was wonderful to be able to talk to you and see you even if it was on the computer! I wish you had been able to see your friend, but I know God will make that happen.
We are excited to hear about what MArk did during his 4 days in Mozambique. We continue to lift all of you to God and know He will take care of you! Hugs and kisses!!!
Love,
Mom and Dad
