Update

Time is one of those funny things that slips by and you only really seem to notice it once it has passed by.
It is almost the end of the year again! where has the year gone? Well, we have had a blessed year so far. We have had the privilege of hosting a number of outreach teams. One from Natal South Africa with a number of folks from our home Church. What a blessing! To have folks from "home" coming to be part of the work they sent us out to do.
We also had a team from Brazil, again we had a good time out in the bush with them and met some old friends again Egon & Didi, but we made a bunch of new friends. Jenn had a team of 4 from the USA and they were a massive "pick-me-up" for Jenn.

Our new team members Russell & Nicole who came to fill the doctor's position at the Espungabera hospital arrived. God is GREAT! And they arrived with their 3 small children, Owen, Edith & Akeyla. Then just recently with a big surprise they found out the Nicole was expecting. Bigger surprise with twins. Wow! They are about to return to the USA for the delivery and all sorts of legal things like passports. We are hoping to have them back by March or April 2014.

Dustin & Anne have also joined us on the team and are in the stage of language and culture learning and are in Espungabera right now after spending some time out at Siyabuzana.

Walter and Rosie after almost 4 years on the team and having done an excellent job out at Siyabuzana will be leaving Mozambique for good about the end of March 2014.

Michael who is working at Farming God's Way in the area is doing a good job and is seeing a number of people who are making changes and are trying out what Michael is teaching. We hope that they really reap the benefits of better farming methods. Michael will be leaving the team mid March 2014 to go back to the USA to begin university.

Kaylee who came to help out with the teaching of Russell and Nicole's children will be leaving us mid February 2014 also to begin her studies.

Such a lot of change and transition for us in the near future and a lot of adjustments will need to happen.
