Just got back from our last supper with Pastor Jacob's family. We've had such a wonderful time and have been completely spoiled by their hospitality. So our team treated them to some fine steaks at the Butcher's Block Grille (an amazingly tasty and affordable steak house...imagine a perfect 14 oz Filet Mignon for $9...awesome!)
We finished up at the Mission School this morning and then spent the afternoon shopping for supplies for our trip to Swaziland and Mozambique. We'll be leaving around 9:00 am for Swaziland. Pastor Jacob will be joining us and we'll be meeting up with Pastor Mandla at his church and orphanage in Big Bend (That's where we'll be dropping off the clothes). The trip will be about 6 hours by car. This is the part of the trip that I won't have much access to computers or cell coverage, but I'll try to have Christine post some updates as we go along.
In other news, we heard back from Craig (the missionary for Samaritan's Purse that just moved to Mozambique). We will try to connect with him in Maputo next Wednesday (Please pray for God's guidance and appointments...this could be a wonderful connection for the local pastors).
God bless and thanks so much for your prayers and comments!
