So I’ve finally gotten a chance to sit down and let the world know we actually made it. Yep We’ve been in Mozambique with Iris Ministries for the past month and a half and every day is an adventure. Melody and I are house parents for 10 other girls! All who are awesome and want more of God. If the sun doesn’t get you up at 4:30 the 6 o’clock breakfast gong, or big old truck rim, will make sure your up to get your two bread rolls. Before class starts at 8 you have time to do your laundry by hand if your lucky enough to wake up to running water, otherwise that time is spent taking buckets down to the well to fetch water. The missionaries on base join with speakers from all over to pour into those who are destined to be world changers. After a rice n bean lunch the afternoon is filled with language learning, market runs, and getting to know locals. And evenings will contain another session or family group. Friday is practical mission day where we do the jobs of missionaries ranging from village evangelism and prison ministry to roofing to weighing rice and beans. I lead the roofing team and Melody the gardening team. We also are in charge of all the keys on base, planning special events and parties, and maintenance is a full time job in itself for me. But in all the chaos we are still learning and growing with each other, finding the time for us and for God, seeking the strength to press in we have none, and more - getting deeper into His heart, as has always been our one aim.
