Six Years!


June 4th marked 6 years in Mozambique!  We thought we would celebrate by sharing some of our "firsts" photos!





Our first week in Mozambique, staying at Oasis guesthouse.  All the boys did for the first week is catch lizards and get filthy every day!  They were 6 and 9 years old.




Our first trip to the beach!



Our first pets, Jack Russell Terriers, Max and Fudge.



Our first house and chance to do yard work.  As seminary students, up to this point, we had only lived in apartments.



Our first Thanksgiving.  We celebrated with our British, Brazilian and Mozambican friends.



Our first church family, in front of our first meeting site, the primary school in Djuba.



Our first Christmas program.  Can you find the "branca"(white girl)?


The first church owned land in Djuba.  Clearing it by hand.




After the land was cleared, our first church "building", a giant blue and white tent.


First signs of falling in love with a beautiful people.

A great trip down memory lane, keep all these memories close and at hand. God reminds us how far we have come, and how far he is yet to bring us.

Love to all,

Lynne,how are the kids at children's home doing? I just went through some of my photos when I visited some of the Save the Children kids(eshcolinhas) in Gaza and my heart just went for them.I still haven't gotten over it.
