We had the nicest treat in the month of August. Kevin’s parents came out to spend four weeks with us! The kids had school holidays for the whole month, so we were able to travel a bit and enjoy some time together. Since our terms here in Moz last for four years, we only seeContinue reading “A Treat”

New Monitor Training!
Finally, the time that we have been waiting for arrived! We have been hoping for some new monitors to expand the program for a long time. There is a large TEE program in a city about 5 hours from us, and one of the directors of that program, a Mozambican pastor, was generous enough toContinue reading “New Monitor Training!”
School Sports Day
In July, the kids’ International School had a end-of-year sports day. Here’s a photo of Ben with two of his little friends, both MKs. You can see the beautiful mountains (hills, really) behind them. Here’s also a photo of all the students, dressed up in tie-dye for sports day. There were the usual footraces, tug-of-war,Continue reading “School Sports Day”
We Broke our Ben!
Ben fell off the monkey bars at school last week and broke his arm. Well, actually he was leaping out to a far rung and missed. When I chastised him, he said “I already did it four times before that and I made it!”. I guess he got tired. Anyway, God cared for BenContinue reading “We Broke our Ben!”
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Church
Last Thursday morning, I got on the motorcycle to go to the Thursday morning ladies’ meeting. I was especially glad to go because I hadn’t been since February, when we started Macua language classes. Class ended last week, so I am free on Thursday mornings again. I strapped my tote bag on the bike, andContinue reading “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Church”
The latest addition
Here’s a photo of Ben with our new puppy, a 7-week old Jack Russell Terrier. Those of you know JRT’s know that they are a handful! However, we had one last year (Nacho, who died a few months ago at 9 months old) and really enjoyed his personality. We want a little dog to beContinue reading “The latest addition”
The End of our 30 Days of Photos

Well worth hearing! Just click the link. Singing Practice And also, another photo to remind you of whatContinue reading “The End of our 30 Days of Photos”
Village Church Visit
This Sunday we had a typical church visit outside of town. The city churches are a little different, but the outside churches (10 min outside town by car) are still very “village”. This was the church started by one of the monitors, Pastor Castello, and we arrived at 9 am, waited for an hour forContinue reading “Village Church Visit”
Bread
Here’s that photo of bread that I promised. It is sold in what folks in the USA would call “rolls”, though here it is just called “breads” They cost between 2 and 2 1/2 meticais each, which is betwwen 6 1/2 and 7 cents. We buy 20 each day, and eat them all! There areContinue reading “Bread”
A Macua Lesson
No photo today – instead I thought I’d make a list of SOME of the conjugations of the verb “take” in the Macua language. An important thing to remember is that each of these words is only the first in a list of twelve forms of that tense of verb. There is a form forContinue reading “A Macua Lesson”
