Once every couple of months the group that meets outside the Schmidt's house goes out to MozOvos to have a special sunday together. That day was today. Some girls came over yesterday and we spent the entire day baking cookies. There were tons of cookies and lots of singing and laughter. It was enjoyable and great to see so many people coming together to worship our great God.
A brief snapshot of the some the cookies waiting to be baked.
This is an appliance that is plugged in and can bake things like cookies and cakes, I've never seen anything like it. It's used often instead of an actual oven.

I was also wished several feliz aniversario (happy birthdays). It was great. Afterwards the interns, and Mary and Felix's family (my neighbors) came over for lunch, just like every Sunday afternoon. I was then sung to and had a lovely birthday cake. It was a great day.
my birthday
In the afternoon I was headed home and Mary and I decided to check out the wedding that was happening at our landlady's house for her son. We went and met people and were able to enjoy some time there. It was definitely a full dose of Mozambican culture, as I was strongly urged to stay and take a seat and mingle with people.
Food being cooked for the wedding, notice that the chicken is being grilled over a wheelbarrow.

I was far from America, but it was definitely a birthday to remember!
