As many of you know, we are currently living in this little guesthouse on the compound of SIL here in Nampula.  There are about 7 of these houses on the compound, along with an office building, conference building, preschool, small school, and a few staff houses.  It is all very nicely enclosed with a wallContinue reading “Life on the Compound”

The end of the latest 10-week term was last week, and Kevin thought it would be nice to have a little get-together with all the students from the various classes.  There were 5 classes running, with 35 students led by the six monitors, on the following books: Christian Family Hebrews Foundations of Faith It wasn’tContinue reading “TEE Students have a party!”

I must apologize for the long period of silence on this site – there has been a sequence of events which has put all of us behind in our regular responsibilities.  Indeed, we were supposed to put out a newsletter in March, but are still working on it now, in April!  As mentioned in JanuaryContinue reading “Cami Takes a Trip”

Benjamin Charles turned six in early March, while mom was away in South Africa.  So, we had a little superhero party for him with about 6 friends last week.  It is rather amusing, because he had a superhero party LAST year but wanted exactly the same thing this year.  He REALLY likes superheros.  We broughtContinue reading “Ben Turns 6!”

Here is a photo of the newest member of our family, a puppy named Chancho.  We are big fans of a particular movie that has a fat little boy with that name, which is how our fuzzy little guy acquired it.  We picked him because he was the puppy that wagged his tail the mostContinue reading “Welcome to Chancho!”

The title is supposed to be a reference to the movie, Back to the Future, but using the word “Back” of course to refer to my back, to make it kind of funny.  But it’s not, is it?  No, it’s not.  It was also not funny when I saw the orthopedic surgeon in Blantyre andContinue reading “Back to the Past”

There is an actual playground at SIL compound, where we live, but the kids prefer to play like this:

We like to keep life interesting, so we moved house just a few days before leaving on vacation.  It was just from one guest house at the SIL compound to another guest house about 500 feet away, so it was just a matter of carrying the items from one place to the other, and withContinue reading “Moving Again”

Gee, it sounds like I am on the “Price is Right” when I say that.  And if you are not old enough to know what the Price is Right is, then tough luck.  Here is a photo of our latest vehicle: It is a 1996 Honda CRV, imported from Japan.  It is in great shape,Continue reading “A New Car!”
