Wells

We just received word that the well-drilling is on again for Monday morning. This is the same morning we leave for the long drive to northern Mozambique. We have delegated the following of the drilling of our two wells to Pastor Ricardo and I'm sure he will do a great job for us while we are gone. I hate to miss the opportunity to show you the 'in-process' photographs but look forward to providing you with the finished product photographs!

We've spent today trying to prepare for the trip north. I have a small box of spare filters, fan belts, radiator stop-leak, tire repair kits, etc. for the simple things that could happen and we'll carry four Jerry-cans of fuel on top as diesel stations can be few and far between!

In a way it is reminiscent of our previous life where we took the kids camping every year. We are taking tents and camping supplies for this trip, it is not a hotel-type trip! We are starting malaria medication tomorrow as we will be out of routine and out at night. Our tent also provides a great protection from mosquitoes. Ann and I are wondering if we are 'too old for this' staying in the bush. We will tell you in a couple of weeks!

Truly we look forward to sharing with the churches in the north and spending time with the leadership there. We pray that God will use us in a way that is honoring to Him.

"We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness ...." Exodus 8:27

In this verse, Moses was taking his people on a three-day journey to offer sacrifices and the next thing you know the trip lasts 40 years. mmmm, is this trip we are leaving on like Gilligan's three-hour tour??? ;-)
