Bruce and Mabel Callender, former OMS field directors here for many years, arrived today and we had a lovely afternoon touring them through the new seminary and different parts of Maputo. It was especially fun to listen to them discuss the seminary planning and how the building compared with what they expected from the plans they were so intimately involved with. They were very pleased with the final result. And everywhere we went, there was much joy to see them again by all those whose lives they touched. They were also very surprised at the many changes in Maputo since they had left some three or so years ago.
Pastor Abel stopped by the house late this afternoon and they had a nice visit with him in advance of our normal meeting to discuss ECC issues.
Tomorrow morning, very early, Mike Gaunt from the UK leaves after three weeks of helping us out in many different ways. We said our good-byes today; he is a delightful young man. We will head up to Khongolote with Bruce and Mabel in the morning and possibly back into Maputo to settle with a shop that is making some student desks for our seminary. We also need to continue to check on the progress of the preparations for the Saturday dedication of the new seminary.
Friday we have our regional director coming in as well as our friends from Xai-Xai who will be attending the dedication as well. We will be quite busy in the coming days and I'm not sure who much writing I will be able to do! But then again, a busy day is pretty normal actually!
Blessings all!
Dave & Ann
