I am back.
What has happened? Hmmm.
1. A big ship dragged its anchor over the fiber optic cable and severed communication for all of northern Mozambique...yes, really. We have be been without internet and cell phones for much of 3 months.
2. We moved our entire house...across town in preparation to move across the Atlantic in July. Sold the chickens and pigeons, found homes for the dogs and retired our guards.
3. Started wrapping up TEE classes, gave tests and am currently meeting with another missionary who will fill the gap while i am gone.
4. Last bush trips...took three monitors with me to the coastal town of Moma and we gave a seminar on Genesis to pastors and leader from 7 different denominations. It was great. We had a good time together and all went smoothly--even the road! The president had just visited that district a week before so the 250 miles of dirt roads had been smoothed! Praise God, a 5 hour trip took only 3!
5. Lastly we started to say goodbye. As we do i am profoundly aware that this is now home.If it were not for seeing and reconnecting with you and the necessity of raising support i wouldn't want to go. We are trying not to think of the challenges that lie head this year there...culture shock, missing friends, kids readjusting, lack of funds (again we are under-supported), but we know for a fact that our big God will provide somehow as He has for the last 3.5 years.

I will write more now that we are temporarily staying in a friends house which has internet....but thought it best to catch you up!
See you soon. Kevin
