A visit with the kids and new pics from Moz

We just got back from a one week visit with Kory and Alexis. We had a great time experiencing a little of what their lives are like living and working in Mozambique. We were quite impressed with how well they are doing. In many ways it is a more difficult living situation then we dealt with when we were serving as missionaries in Papua New Guinea. For one they do not have expat neighbors surrounding them who they can talk to in English whenever they want to. They have to do their work in the national language. And their living conditions (no running water in the house) are more difficult. We were also quite impressed with how well they speak the national language of Portuguese. We were very thankful they were there to communicate for us as we encountered various situations. Like riding in a public motor vehicle crowded with local people or trying to figure out what the items on a menu were. As you might have picked up on what we have written we are very proud of what Kory and Alexis are doing and their perserverance and grit to try and make a difference in a part of the world where people do not have the advantages that we take for granted in the States. God bless you kids, we love you.
Dad and Mom
