So here's the low down on Dondo, Mozambique! It's basically the exact setting you think of for the World Race. Were in a house that isn't completely roofed in a village with mud huts, and a wonderful squatty potty to do your business. Meals are simple and repetitive but at the same time so delicious, and ministry is all over the place! This is exactly what I want. What's is crazy is this pattern of the level of outpouring I do in ministry seems to be equaled by the amount of introspection, discipleship, and getting poured back into that takes place.
Getting to know Jesus more personally and walking in the grace He gives me has really weighed down on me this month. I really want to know not just what He did, how He loved, and how he did things in ministry, but His personality as well. How did He talk to people? How did He prefer and Love others?
On another note ministry has been epic! People run up to us in the streets asking for us to pray for them. So often I catch myself thinking, "Wow this is just like Jesus with the Disciples in the bible!" I wish I could see thing like this in the U.S.
Our living conditions have been epic. I've almost become completely introverted some days this month but that's what living in a tent does to me! Put me in a tent and almost instantly I go into solitude and introspection mode. It's also allowed for my imagination to go a little wild! I don't just wish I could go on an adventure anymore I genuinely feel like I'm on one now. Of course I've been on one for 7 months now, but being in a town of mud huts and journaling in my tent really helps. Even when I write it's not just a journal anymore it's a captains log!
That's about all the word I have time for in this internet cafe. The blog is scattered but my brain is a little scattered today so I'm cool with that. LOL
Be Blessed,
Steven Buffington
