The Market!

Hi all!
We had a great day of fellowship today. We went to the Saturday market and shopped. We were able to purchase lots of Mozambican goodies - batiks, wood carvings, etc. It's full of bartering so we are thankful to Rodger for his knowledge of the system and language! After a couple hours of bartering, we were off the to fish market. Yum! The fish are all fresh and grilled there. We had a kilo of fish, two kilos of shrimp and a chicken! Another couple joined us - Daniel and Christi. They are newlyweds recently graduated from college. Daniel was born in Mozambique. His family was a missionary family. When he was around 11 someone broke into their home and murdered his father. They were able to escape. It was his desire to return back to the country to live and serve the Lord. They are going to take a year to get situated, have his new wife learn the language, and then they will decide exactly where they will settle here for ministry. They are looking into a sports type ministry or one geared toward youth.

After our lunch we took a quick trip down to the beach. It's quite a beautiful area.

FYI - we have taken a lot of pictures but are unable to post them until we return. Sorry! For those that are new to our blog, the pictures on the blog were taken during my trip last year. We'll put a link for pictures after we return!
