Egon is a retired Brazilian dentist. It has been quite a lot of fun having him around. Especially as he speaks "no" English. So I have had a personal Portuguese teacher for a week at Bible school. Egon went to the Bible school with me to experience rural Mozambican life and also to teach dental hygiene at the local school there.
There was just so much new "stuff" for him to see and be part of. I think he had quite a wake up call as to how a large part of Africa lives. He mentioned over and over that they never see that side of life on TV back home. But I guess neither do many of us.
He and I will be going on Monday to Catholic mission station about 20km's from Espungabera and he is scheduled to teach there at the clinic and the little school about dental hygiene. He will also be teaching at a few other places in and around Espungabera until his return to Chimoio around the 15-16th June. He will then also go and visit some other areas of Mozambique. Please keep him in your prayers as this rural African "stuff" is quite a culture shock for him.
