    I love that God has "fulfilled every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith." It is not easy to be successful in Moz but God has blessed you and used you as a blessing to others. You are an encouragement to the rest of us! Our God is indeed good! :-)

    Just wish to pour out many continued blessings on your marriage, and your ministry. The photo of the two of you is lovely. You are both an inspiration to us here back in the states, and an inspiration to the people you touch in your ministry. Many more good things to come your way in Mozambique, I can just picture it. Your dedication and hard work is noticed, and I understand all of the dissapointment that have come your way this last year, but you stood strong as a couple and before God, and he is blessing the ministry.
