A quick update!

We said goodbye to the children at Zimpeto Saturday morning. I don't think there was a dry eye on the bus:(  As hard as it is to say goodbye to all the kids, we headed on to our next destination-Matola! It is a suburb right outside of Maputo. Jimmy & Linda used to live at Zimpeto but moved to Matola almost 3 years ago with their 6 adopted boys.  They came to Texas this past spring and we are excited to spend time with them!  We made it to Jimmy & Linda's house on Saturday! They have a beautiful home with a LOT of space! We have been spoiled! Papa Jim grilled burgers Saturday night & Mama Linda made fried chicken Sunday! Today we got to visit a center that takes care of children of human trafficked girls. Tuesday we go into the city (Maputo) to visit a ministry that works with street kids!

As you can see, the baby house was a huge hit with this team! Many spent most of their time there helping out with play-time, bed-time, & eating.  Our team also got to eat in the city by the bay and walk along the beach.  Project Purpose is a ministry that helps girls in prostitution/human trafficking. Everyday has been an adventure & we look forward to our last few days here in Mozambique!!

*I will post many more pics/stories when we return. Thanks for checking in with us!

Ciao!

We arrived safe & sound almost a week ago! The plane ride was loooooonnnnnnnnnggggggg but we had no bumps! :)

Everyone is doing great & we have all been healthy! Thank you for all your prayers! We have VERY limited internet access right now so we cannot upload and post pics YET. We have all been taking tons of pics so we will share them soon!

The baby house has been a HUGE hit with everyone. They are TOO CUTE.

We will go to Jimmy & Linda's house on Saturday! We will then fly out next Thursday.

Please continue to pray for all of us and our health & for safe travels back.

We will write as soon as we can!! Again, no news is GOOD NEWS!

All the wives miss their husbands & children! And the grandmas miss their grandchildren! :)
