Happy Birthday to you!

Katie turned 8 on Saturday!



Happy Birthday, Pam!

Today my sister turns --!
I didn't get you anything...
I didn't even send you a card.

So this is my greeting and wish for you:

Jeremiah 29:11.


Even if we are over 40, God has PLANS for us! Plans for good... not harm. Plans for hope and a future. He's just begun today to give you what He has in mind for you. He's not nearly done with any of us. So... have a HAPPY Birthday! Let Him work out His plan in you and there isn't anything you will lack. Seek Him and there is nothing else to long for!

Love you, Pam!

Back to Isoka?

Well, now they say that the car IS in Isoka, Zambia, far away... "They" might be the Interpol representatives we tried to contact... The police give conflicting reports, so SOMEONE is lying... The Swedish Embassy is being more helpful than the US Embassy... They will confirm that Interpol is working on the case. We managed to send 2 faxes today to Zambia... we've tried all week, but just found out that they country has added 2 digits to the area codes, therefore we weren't getting anyone... go figure! Toyota managed to get us a copy of our vehicle registration... Thanks! David's car is still not really driveable. The mechanic who should fix it tripped and spilled boiling liquid on his foot today... so, he couldn't come by. I had a rough day... transportation for my kids fell through at lunch time. Last minute angels stood up to help out and take the boys for the afternoon... then, after sports later on, John got left at his buddy's house and everyone else ...

One more year

We have been in Mozambique for a very long time. This is our oldest daughter visiting a village a half hour out of town in 2003. This was most of what she knew about the world at the time. This village was new to her, but not scary or strange. Our home was surrounded by a green, lush garden. Tea time under a guava tree was a daily ritual with Rosa and Maria. I admit, this looks a little "colonial" in some ways. But that is just life in Africa: our kids are white and everyone else is not. When you have a picnic this is what it looks like.  By 2012 my kids were happy in their school. The translation project was well under way. I was out and about visiting friends and finding places to share Nyungwe stories. There weren't many. Not many people were interested yet. We were on the verge of a new big thing, but we didn't know it.  After our "furlough" for a year in 2012-13, we returned to Mozambique. Little Zebra Books started publishi...

A quirky time out of touch

This weekend we had the rare experience of being "offline" for over 72 hours. Being this is Africa, we expect that this COULD happen from time to time, but it usually doesn't. Lucky us! During that little blip in the disconnectedness of our lives with others all around the world, I felt funny. Here is a little comentary on my few days away from e-mail, Facebook, and Google. Thursday Evening: Hmmm, something is not right here. My Facebook wall won't update... and I can't get tot hat recipe I looked up this morning. Friday Morning: Off to M'Padue school without even a "here I go" message to my friends. Oh well, I don't have time anyway! Friday Afternoon: Mikael, "Seems there is something wrong with the internet. It isn't working at the office either." Me, "I wanted to post a few pictures from this morning, but I can wait." I waited... here they are... Opening of the meeting with about 50 teachers in a normal classr...
