Mozambique

6 bags came Sabbath. And yes the other mosquito net! 2 are more bags are due today pray, pray, pray! Sabbath was interesting…We went to the big English church in the city. It's like Haiti all over again en masse. There was a special Patherfinder program. The pastors sermon was based on the story of Paul and Eutychus and he said where were the elders of the church telling the young man the place he was sitting was not safe? Where were the church members when he began to cross eyes and nod off the shake the leg to wake him to his danger? It was about watching and not sleeping. And he encouraged his congregation when they saw a brother or sister starting down the wrong path not to sit idly by, when they saw someone falling asleep spiritually to there real condition to not be the same but to rouse to action and watch for others souls. On the way out they empty the rows front to back and as we came out the whole church shook our hands and wished us happy Sabbath. It took some time! We had haystacks at Elizabeth’s house. She does accounting for ADRA. Then we went downtown and walked around a gardens from the 1900’s. At one time Maputo was the tourist capital of the world. We saw a train station built by the man who built the Eiffel tower. Drew Maranatha’s accountant, our pickup at the airport was our guide and we were stopped 2X by the police. The first time he made a little mistake but it is almost Christmas and they need money (totally illegal)… He wanted 3000Rbut Drew tackled him down to 600R. At the train station 3 police stopped him for no reason 2 of them had AK47s. He did nothing this time but it was too tempting a van of 9 foreigners. If they asked for our passports could have gone to the station. Not all of us had them with us they being at Elizabeths house.
David arrived Saturday night and we had a good visit.
