Week 4 and Counting :)

We have had another great week at mission school here in Mozambique! Heidi and Rolland Baker have taught many of our classes, and we are so impressed and in love with them and their ministry. They are truly a couple who has laid down their lives for the poor and serve with great joy.

Jackie Pullinger, who wrote Chasing the Dragon, was our speaker last week. She has worked in the very dangerous slums of HongKong for 30 years. She had such great insight about working in difficult situations and still living a life filled with faith and hope. I can't wait to get home and order the book :)

We are all healthy, but it is a challenge to stay that way in such a dirty place. Please pray for our new friends who are at school with a 4 year old and 7 year old. The 7 year old might have malaria, and we are awaiting test results. If you remember the worst case of flu you ever had and multiply that by about 20, you can imagine what having malaria feels like.

Homeschooling is going well and helps break up our days. We still love going to the beach whenever we can. Last week we went to the ocean when the tide was very low and explored the tide pools. We found sea urchins, starfish, and several "unidentified" sea animals. Having the beauty around us helps make up for the diet of rice and beans and beans and rice :)

Please continue to pray for our Michael, Missy and Dan. We miss them soooooo much, and it is worth every penny to call them when we can. Please also pray for continued guidance for our future mission work. We will meet with the long-term mission committee here before we come home. Hopefully, we will know an exact city and have very clear direction about the type of work we will be doing by the first of August.

Love you all!!!!!
