Hey yall. So I am here in Moz. sorry I havn't writen soonner. Teh lfights were good, I was sleeples for 2 adn a half days. so I was a zomby when we arrived. But things went smoothly.
LIfe here has been keeping me busy between learning portugese, meeting playing with kids, and lots of time in school. It has been good. I am in a house sharing a room with 3 other girls. and then 2 other rooms totalling 4 more people. One is a Brit. another a Newyorker,and then a young south african girl who is full of energy. So needless o say it is interesting. But we seem to be getting along and getting to know one anther. I love to see there relationships withteh lord. We ll have ties to art which i think is cool how God orcestrate that. Again sorry about teh spelling.
I have yet to take a photo. Still trying to take it all in. It has been so much. especailly since This school is very diffrent than what I am used to. I am being taught by peopel who are praying and watching the sick healed, teh blind see, teh lame walk, ect. I am watching God given Visions to people. IT is so amazing to see God so eager to speak to His children. People here are from all parts of teh world, and ages adn walks of life. BUt they all are experienceing the same God. I know I have tons to learn from them. We have had geust speakers and some groups have already gone on outreachs into villages. Watching poeople be saved in the masses. I have yet to go. and I am a bit skidish about it ( the scabies adn all). so there is prayer request for ya. another is that GOd would give me thirst so I don't get dehydrated again. it wasx brief and i am fine. no worries. what eles. There are kids every where. village kids adn then kids that Iris takes care of. The food is beans adn rice or matapa ( green stuff maybe spinish) and misterground meat. Throw in a few hard really crunchy things. We have our gueses as to what those are. My roomate says baked in flies and I thought maybe pebbles mixed in with the rice. all I know is you ca't think about it just put it in your mouth. the flavor is notto bad though. So we are getttign creative on fixing some meals on our own. Oh yeah there is a fish night which I have conveintly missed. then I thougth I will be brave they eat it why can't I. So I walk up there, and see a bed a rive with a whole tail sticking straight up aout of th epalte scales adn all. I counldn't bring my self to stay. s Beans is my fav so far. Well I get to teach childrens church this sUnday. That will be fun and chaotic I am sure. I have helped feel teh village kids one day. I am really trying to absorb there reality. it is so diffrent. their reality is no shoes, on holly shirt, and no food unless form Iris. I have watched 4year olds being cargivers to there 6 mouth old siblings. it's crazy. But Iris is here preachign and teaching and loving on this community. I met a guy on teh beach that told me he used to be musilm but he changed cause of Mama Ida ( Hiedi Baker). Justa random yt important sould, one ofmany in this community. well That is all I can muster in way of thoughts. Agian I am still rying to wr my brainaround things here, teh first week was hard in just adjusting to hwo they worship here, and I felt so dry. and was so frustaiting. Kinda wanting to come home jsut so I could hear from teh Lord. I felt like my ears were clogged. but The lord is slowy reminding me of HIs great love. As we all know I am stubborn so soem times it takes convinvcing. but the Lord is so generous with His love. I pray he opens my eyes to more of him and that he tears away me teh yuck and teh dirt. That he molds me into who he made me to be. well I pray teh LOrd is doing amazing things amoung you this summer. I will try and be in contact agian soon. KNow that the Lord is good no matter what, i feel like I had forgotten that. NO MATTER WHAT. HE IS GOOD. AND GOOD TO US. My basic eeds are met food shelter, so the rest is a learning experice. Love ya talk to yousoon. B
