Since we returned to the USA on July 19th, there have been a lot of fun things to enjoy! Of course the immediate things were time with Kevin’s family in Connecticut and enjoying the beauty of the northeastern summer. Corn on the cob, swiss cheese, McDonalds, chinese food, and New York style pizza were allContinue reading “All Kinds of Fun”

It came time to fly back to the USA on Saturday, July 17th and we were ready!  Maybe not emotionally, as we were nervous about the trip and about what lay ahead, but all the bags were packed and we stood by the door 45 minutes before our ride came to pick us up, everythingContinue reading “The Looooooooonnnnnggg Trip Back to the USA – originally posted 7/30/10”

We had some goodbyes to say not too long ago.  The last two weeks before we left Mozambique on July 17th were full of busyness and sadness, as well as excitement for the road ahead. The hardest people to say goobye to were the monitors.  We had a special lunch for them the week weContinue reading “Saying Goodbye – originally posted 7/30/10”

On Toby’s last day at the Morningstar Academy, there was a sports day.  There were all kinds of races including rope climb, long jump, and, well, races.  The highlight of the day were two soccer games, the moms against the first through fourth graders, and the dads against the fifth through eighth graders.  Here’s aContinue reading “Last Day of School – originally posted 7/30/10”

Here’s a photo of Kevin and I in front of the chapel at the Fort at Ilha da Mocambique.  This chapel is the oldest european-built structure in the southern hemisphere and was built by the Portuguese in the late 1500s.  The fort was built later and was a base of operations for them in theirContinue reading “History in Mozambique – originally posted 7/30/10”

Well, we had hoped to avoid malaria this year but unfortunately I came down with it 10 days after returning from South Africa.  I must have caught it in Maputo on my way back.  I was down for a week with that nasty stuff and was glad to be rid of it.  One of theContinue reading “Malaria, Again – originally posted 7/13/10”

We moved out of our house on June 2nd, and moved over to the SIL missions compound across town, into the house of friends.  I was so sad to move out of our house, which had been a real refuge in times of trouble during these three years.  The move went smoothly and we wereContinue reading “Moving – originally posted 7/13/10”

HEre is a photo of the monitors who are being trained to take over the program while we are on Home Assignment. These men are dedicated church leaders who are working for no pay.  They will each be leading a weekly Bible class, which lasts 10 weeks.  We hope that there will be several roundsContinue reading “Monitors Chosen – originally posted 7/13/10”

I realized that my last post was done in March, and I apologize.  We hadn’t had internet at home from late February until early June, and just never had the time to update the blog from the internet cafe. A lot has happened in the last few months and I will try to do someContinue reading “It’s Been Awhile – originally posted 7/13/10”
