Everyday in Mozambique we woke up early and stayed up late worshipping God as “Big Paulie” played the guitar and sang
Just another day gathering food for the family
Sitting outside of the old slave houses this woman drinks her morning tea while her husband works in the fields
Off to collect water. She has to walk about an hour to the river and carry it back on her head.
This woman not only is going to fetch water, but gets to carry her baby the entire way. I love the typical way they carry their children. It is so nice to be able to have free hands.
I just loved this beautiful girl. Everyday she wore this blue dress and had a huge smile.
This is a typical house in Mozambique
The road to our house in Maluane
Boys played the roles of Fathers from a young age. On the left the boy is left in charge of his younger brother while eating orange berries soaked in water. These berries were used to make soap. I tasted them and they really did taste like I just put a bar of soap in my mouth. The boy on the right is in charge of cooking the lunch for his family.
Young girls grow up fast as well. This little girl is only 7 years old and she is already playing the mom.
This is the orange berry that they make soap out of and also eat.
Josh and I loved our ministry here in Mozambique. We got to train the church members on how to evangelize, disciple, start small groups, read the bible, and answer important questions that they had. It was a great month of ministry!
Josh was raised up in a seat of honor on our final day of ministry in the church. I got lifted up as well as the women tied a skirt around my waist and carried me above their heads.
These ladies came to our training every single day.
A homeless woman sleeping in Maputo when we went into town. It was about an hour drive to town from our house and we got to see the Indian Ocean.
In every country Josh and I have been leaving our mark with “LOVE WINS” stickers. This one we put on an old rusty gas pump overlooking the farmland. At the end of the race I will post all of the pictures of our stickers.
