We have arrived

We made it to Pemba without any problems, except for our stay overnight in Johanneburgh seemed so long. Niether one of us slept very much due to the excitedment of our new jouney beginning and the time difference. Our bags all made it fine. After we got settled into our new home we tried to take a nap and of course that didn't work very well, so at 5 pm we decide to get some dinner from base, We forgot what was being served Sunday night, it turn out to be Mootoppa(not sure of the spelling, but that is how it sound. Here is how it looks.

On our way back!

We are not sure where all of the time went, but after almost 4 months back in the states we are on our way back to Pemba. We leave Friday, Jan 27 and will arrive in Pemba on Jan 29.  Please pray for safe travels and that all of our luggage arrives safely and in one piece.  Also for favor with the airlines!

During the last 4 months we have tried to see as many of you as possible and we are sorry if we were unable to connect with you during our time home. It was a little more difficult this time as we had to do a lot of things for my, Cindy's, mom after the loss of my father. We want to thank you for all of your love and prayers during this difficult time. Your prayers have been truly felt.

Please pray for the country of Mozambique as some flooding has begun there due to  cyclone Funso. There have been several lives lost and homes are being destroyed. This is hitting the southern to middle part of Mozambique. As far as Pemba is concerned things there are fine and have not been affected by the cyclone. We are not sure of all of the effects that this cyclone has had on Mozambique and we will keep you updated. Please pray that this cyclone stops and that there will be no more lives lost in Jesus Name.

We are very excited about our return to Pemba and can not wait to see how God is going to use us. Everyone of you are such a big part of our ministry and we want to say a big "THANK YOU".  Your love, prayers and financial support mean the world to us.

Please keep in contact with us as we begin this next step of the journey that God has called us on. We want  to know how we can pray for you and what is going on in your lives.
