We made it to Mozambique safely! We had a 10+ hour flight to London with a 6 hour layover, then a 10+ hour flight to South Africa with a 2 hour layover and finally made it to Mozambique. We had smooth flights and didn't lose any luggage! Wow! AND...the food was great! Really! We were impressed with British Airways food.
The Schmidts welcomed us with open arms as usual. They are doing fine despite Lynne's accident last week. (In fact, just this morning Lynne honked at a driver and he got made and side swiped her other car trying to knock off the mirror!) We are staying in the home with the Schmidts. Steven gave up his room for George and Larry and Lee and I have the guest room.
Work has started on the dependencia - the ministry house for Mozambican interns. It has 5 bedrooms and 2 baths. It needs a lot of repair - but they have quickly started! Rodger hired some local men to help scrape mold off the outside of the building. While I type this, Lee and Larry are testing out the electrical to figure out what they need to do to get the building safe. We'll be working on plumbing and painting as well.
We had a great time running errands today...very Mozambican. George and I stayed in the car to guard it (I'm a really scary guard!) while Lee, Larry and Rodger went inside. We went to about 5 different shops and got to see a lot of the city. It's been raining this week and the roads were quite interesting!
Thanks so much for your prayers. We hope to post a couple pictures in not too long. Pray that a lot gets done on the building and that we are able to minister to the locals.
