Arrived in Mozambique!I arrived in Mozambique in the afternoon of Feb 15th. After staying in Beira for 2 nights, I arrived in Maforga Wednesday afternoon. Praise God I have a house, which I've quickly turned into a home!

The rain catch works great when it rains, which unfortunately is not often enough! Not only do we need the rain for the drought, but it also brings a little reprieve to the hot days!


 The local nurse, Madalena, starts March 1st. I met her today. She's a sweet, spirited, Godly woman. She was nervous to meet Amy & I, afraid we'd be "so serious," but we spent the lunch hour today swapping stories and laughing. Amy is a L&D nurse from Texas who is staying here for 3 months to help Stephanie open the clinic. She's also sweet, fun & a pleasure to work with.

  I start my Portuguese lessons Friday, after meeting & hiring a local man, Edson, who was recommended by a local pastor. I've been studying on my own at night, and having fun trying to talk to Stephanie's workers during the day, but I'm anxious to really start learning!
