Week filled with lots of making friends, visiting friends in the village, praying for the sick, watching the World Cup, learning portuguese and makua, playing soccer, playing with my friends in the dirt, beach time, running early morning, instant coffee, taking a trip on a "pirate ship" ...ya know...the usual! ;-)
Had Q and A with Rolland... quote of a lifetime, "the christian life is a bit like jumping off a cliff; you have to be so convinced that normal life would be so boring on top off a cliff, that you would rather go splatt at the bottom then risk being bored the rest of your life."

Class and children's church... then went with Abdul (village boy), John (other student friend), Tetra and Ariell to visit a friend in the village, Antonio. He had been attacked by a "bandito" the night before on his way home and had knife cuts on his legs and hands. We prayed with him, encouraged him, visited with his father and brothers. Brought him some beans and bread.

Morning session with Jackie Pullinger and then Heidi. Visited Antonio, who was feeling much better. His wounds were healing and he was in much better spirits.
Came home and started cooking for our Mozambican bible students, our color group (about 14 missionary students, and 14 Mozambican students) is having a dinner together. We are making chicken curry! ...As we are sitting around, and serving them... one says, "chuva"...which means rain. I said, "onde?" ..."where" ... 20 seconds later, it was pouring! ...We jumped up and crammed onto the lanai. As the rain stopped, we sat around and (with a translator) shared testimonies, prayed, sang, danced... it was beautiful!
