It's not often you have visitors from home! This photograph is of Ann and Kate, a student at Grove City College, who was serving for a week here in Maputo with another ministry. We had tried repeatedly to try and steal her away for a little bit but they had those students on a very tight schedule and wouldn't let us near. Finally they let Kate know we were trying to contact her and she was allowed to call and we arranged to meet at the Saturday Market in Maputo. We had about five minutes with her, which was precious before the bus full of students was wisked away to their next destination.
Ann didn't want to let go of her hand as she loaded onto the bus and just about lost her hand in the bus door as it drove off! There were some watery eyes on our parts as the bus drove away. Kate is flying back to the States as I write this.
In the background is an old fort (in the few hundreds AD - I don't remember exactly) and you can see a bit of the Saturday Market to the right. You don't see their feet because they were basically standing in trash!!
This dear student is from our home church and it was so good to see her, even if only for a few minutes. It was like a message from home; a hug from PCBC.
Thanks for coming to Mozambique Kate! May God use your experiences here in wonderful ways! You can't know what a joy it was for us to see you again.
Dave & Ann
