MozamWeek

Thanks for your guesses. I have been offline for over 2 weeks. Today, the internet is back. Hopefully it will last awhile! I've downloaded all my emails... and updated all my anti-virus software.

Hint: You can buy it at Wal-Mart and you may already have one at home!

All the VIPs from town... from out of town... family members from overseas... and a couple of volunteers who actually flew in with the books we planned to dedicate! I've included all the pictures here... instead of just picking and choosing. Choose for yourself. God is Good!
