While I go on about all of our journeys, meetings, homeschooling and fun, back in Mozambique the ministry is continuing. We have been so grateful to a fellow missionary for facilitating Skype meetings with the monitors from time to time, and it is always strange to start speaking Portuguese again, and to give the standardContinue reading “Faithful”

December!
Wow, December is busy over here! Normally at this time of year, we are attending the kid’s end of term program and packing up the car for our annual trek to Malawi just before the rainy season hits. Instead, we were schooling, meeting with people, trying to spend time with family, and discussing (seemingly endlessly)Continue reading “December!”
Homeschooling
We started homeschooling in November and it has been monotonous, exciting, and frustrating. All of those things! It has been frustrating to try to fit in schoolwork and assignments when we are rarely home five days in a row. I am new to homeschooling andContinue reading “Homeschooling”
Just Because
I had to post this photo of the kids at the grave of their great great great great (how many, I don’t know) grandfather James Dunwoody. We studied the French and Indian War back in September, while were were staying for a few weeks in the “Ohio Territory”. Turns out that our relative was oneContinue reading “Just Because”
Other Fun Things We’ve Done
One of the things I love about the USA – seemingly endless opportunities to go and do interesting things! We’ve visited the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, and many other famous places. One of the highlights of the fall was the beautiful foliage, which I marveled at from many a car window or hiking trailContinue reading “Other Fun Things We’ve Done”
Going on Tour
One of the main reasons we are here in the USA this year is to visit our individual and church supporters to update them and report. Last furlough, we spent several weeks putting together a beautiful brochure, a nice video, a display board and other materials. By the time we settled in one place andContinue reading “Going on Tour”
Missionary kids
What could be better than doing fun stuff in the USA? Doing fun stuff in the USA with your friends from Mozambique!!! We were so thankful to be able to spend time with two different families that we know in Nampula, who were both visiting in the USA near our location. The kids often feelContinue reading “Missionary kids”
50th Wedding Anniversaries
Can you believe that both sets of our parents celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversaries this year? We were so thankful to be able to celebrate with both sides of the family in September and October in vacations together. So many years go by between our family get-togethers that they are super special. That’sContinue reading “50th Wedding Anniversaries”
Back to South Africa
Although our main purpose in visiting South Africa was to do all the medical checkups required by our boss, we managed to combine that with a visit to dear friends that we hadn’t seen in 14 years, and who had never met our kids. They were so gracious, giving us a place to stay andContinue reading “Back to South Africa”
Yes, we are Americans
And what do Americans do first when they get the chance? Go to the movies. Yup. – C
