travel time

I was lucky enough to travel during our ten day spring break. We started out leaving early on the first for our WorldVenture Mozambique team retreat. The drive was about 12 hours and consisted of roads that wouldn't be considered actual roads in many parts of the world.

We had a couple of days of meetings, including a good time of worship and sharing our hearts and how God brought us each individually to living, loving and serving here in Mozambique. This did so much for my heart and was a HUGE encouragement to me. Easter we were able to have a service together, in English, and spent the day at the beach. We attempted to build a large sand castle but the high tide was coming in faster than we had expected.

After the retreat I went with the Meyers, north to central Mozambique to the city of Beira where they live. Brian does teaches at a medical students at a hospital and works at a clinic. His wife, Megan, works with an organization that started about three years ago called Christian Association of Creative Artists. They meet to help Mozambicans write and produce their own worship music that is Mozambican instead of translated western music. I stayed with them for about five days and was able to check out what they do. It was a great opportunity to see the lives of other missionaries in this country. And Beira is right on the ocean, which was an extra treat!
