Even though we live in Africa, we rarely see any wild animals.  Mostly it is confined to snakes and occasional pangolin or bush baby (captured and brought into the city).  While Kevin’s parents were visiting us, they took us to a game park in Malawi, where we were able to go game-viewing in our bigContinue reading “Game Park”

Ok, so this post is about American Independence Day, not the local Independence Day.  We decided this year to co-host a big gathering of Americans (and anyone else who wanted to join us) at our house.  We sang the national anthem (the words were posted for all the kids who hadn’t the faintest idea whatContinue reading “Independence Day – free to be me”

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”

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!”

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”

Anyway, God cared for BenContinue reading “We Broke our Ben!”

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”

Here’s the last of our photos!  And as we began, we end with a video.  This was taken yesterday at the church we visited and is a group of men sitting and singing together before church started.  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”

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”
