We had a lot of goodbyes over the last few weeks in Nampula. Missionary friends, expat friends, teachers at the school, people at our church, pets, neighbors. We tried to plan as many of them as possible: “We’ll say goodbye to these three people at the school event; we must plan dinner with X andContinue reading “Saying Goodbye”

Packing up the house
Most of you know that we spend four years on the field, and then have up to a year in the USA to rest, visit supporters, get further training and see family members. We have known for a long time that furlough was coming up in August, and so since January have been slowly cullingContinue reading “Packing up the house”
Science Fair Projects
Science Fair – words that strike fear into the heart of every parent. There was a lot of work put in by the kids this year, and we are glad they were able to choose topics that all of us found interesting. Ben had a great time making home-made instruments and testing pitch on realContinue reading “Science Fair Projects”
Being American for a day
Our annual 4th of July party is always refreshing for us – I’ve mentioned in previous years how much we enjoy just leaning back into our American-ness each year, playing softball, barbecuing and chatting with fellow Americans. This year was no exception, and we sang the national anthem (a strange experience for many of ourContinue reading “Being American for a day”
Fiel Conference
Fiel Conference is eagerly anticipated every year by local pastors, and is attended by over 300 pastors and their wives. We attend every year, along with most of the monitors, who are sponsored by someone every time. The biggest highlight is the biblical teaching, provided by speakers who are usually brought in from BrazilContinue reading “Fiel Conference”
Life of an MK
Here’s a couple of photos that show the daily life of a missionary kid. One chore? Filling water bottles from the filter, which Ben can combine with reading a book. We can’t drink water out of the tap and brought a high-quality water filter with us when we came out 8 years ago. The filtersContinue reading “Life of an MK”
Preaching Seminar
That is, Homiletics. That is the fancy word for how to preach. Many of the pastors and church leaders have no formal training, so Kevin offered this seminar to the TEE students (many of who do preach on a regular basis) as an opportunity to learn how to preach from a passage of Scripture andContinue reading “Preaching Seminar”
Teaching the Ladies
The pastor’s wife and I have been taking turns teaching the ladies at church on a Thursday morning, and I like to snap a quick shot when I get a chance. As I mentioned in an earlier post, most people don’t like having their picture taken unless it is a group photo, posed for aContinue reading “Teaching the Ladies”
Toby turns 13!
It is official – we have a teenager. He celebrated with an overnight party with friends, watching favorite movies and eating homemade pizza. A pan of brownies was good enough for a cake – no more fancy parties needed! Toby continues to be a joy to us and those who know him. Since he isContinue reading “Toby turns 13!”
Sharp Rocks. . .
I took Ben with me to my Macua language helper’s house during his school vacation in April, to play with her children while I studied with her. Unfortunately, a sharp rock attacked him while they were playing tag and required five stitches. The wound should have been stitched on the inside first, then the outside,Continue reading “Sharp Rocks. . .”
