Mozambique Part 2

We have been so thankful to our friends here who have let us interrupt their lives for a few days and let us stay with them.

Our time in Cuamba was a blessing, some of the highlights of our time with the SIM missionaries:

  • We stayed with the Overton family(Kenny, Carla and kids)our kids had a great time playing. The first day Lucas fell out of a tree and hurt is wrist, but thankfully he was back to normal after a few days!
  • We had the opportunity to visit Rocio Silva's after school program. Her students had a great time decorating backpacks.
  • Camilo, Kenny and the boys went to a village to join missionaries, Millie and Victor's kids club, while Cindy, Carla and Camila went to a women's meeting at the church they attend.
  • We drove up the mountain to the dam. On the way up the kids had a great time tubing down a section of river and later swimming in the lake. They even tried out some repelling!
  • Our kids participated in the church's kids program Saturday evening while Cindy and Carla had a nice visit of prayer and encouragement with the pastor's wife, Jewida.  Kenny and Camilo went to a game his soccer team was playing in.
  • Sunday was a wonderful time with the church family. Lots of wonderful singing  and Kenny preached in Portuguese while someone helped translate to Makua. We were proud of Lucas for participating in the kids chorus and reciting the memory verse in Portuguese!
  • Camilo was able to learn from Kenny's carpentry workshop and help out a little.
We are thankful for a great time with our friends and appreciated their hospitality and encouragement!

Tomorrow (tuesday) we are off to South Africa for the last couple days of our trip.

We thank you for your prayers!
