Way Overdue

27 Jun

Sorry it has been so long! I have been fairly busy recently!

I have learned more and more how unpredictable Moçambique can be. You have to be quite flexible. My plans have changed about a million times. As far as the camping ministry goes, we have tried to plan a couple camps, but they have both fallen through because of various reasons. It looks like we probably wont actually have the first camp until the 14th of July. We have been able to brainstorm quite a bit of activities and explore around the wilderness surrounding the grounds.

Last weekend I went to work with a different ministry that was pretty cool. A missionary is starting an egg laying farm business that will be quite large here in Mozambique. He has 8 different Mozambican interns who are actually living with him. They will get experience working with the business (there is a major problem with unemployment here) and ministry. The goal is that at the end they will have enough money and skills to be able to create their own business and run their own ministry self-supported. I got to spend a few days living with them and being an intern myself. We also went to a national soccer game between Moçambique and Madagascar, we won 3-0, it was quite an experience!

The last week I have been working full time with the development organization. A guy from the states, Mike, has been here doing lots of training. We have set up the office really well here and went up to Xai Xai and assembled a bunch of the lighting systems as he taught the workers there how to do it. We have really had a good time together and I am more and more excited about the good things that will happen as a result of the work of the organization.

This is a very factual post with not much detail, I just wanted to let everyone know WHAT I’ve been doing. Feel free to e-mail me with any other questions, and just to communicate, it’s always nice to hear from you!
