Bon Bons

A special thanks to the Woods’ for letting me use their house while they’re gone.  I’ve been keeping the house ready for guests all the time and they seem to show up pretty often.  I’ve been baking, and hosting friends.  I keep the tea box loaded, the water ready and I try to keep bon bons (like a big reeses with a crispy chocolate dipped shell) although certain someones make that challenging.

ChantalWe’ve cooked together, prayed, written emails & poems, watched movies, read the bible, had worship times, recorded, just chilled or done work.  The house has been a place of peace, stability, art and blessing.  My last few days have been full of love and friends.  I’ve been eating dinner at the toddler house every night and at least every other day I get to visit with my Mozambican family, Rosa, Nasimo and Chantal.  Zelinha, Mark, Antoinette and I had a meeting this morning about possibilities for discipleship, what is happening, what works here and what doesn’t work.

I fly out of Pemba on Friday after a few days in Johannesburg and some time in Washington DC I’ll arrive in California on September 1st.  Leaving will be difficult as I’ve made the grand mistake of loving many people here.  Please pray for discernment as I seek God for my next steps.
