Is that a sign you have been traveling too much, been away from normal too long or are just too busy to find the time to write about it? Those are some of the thoughts rolling around in my head as I lay awake at 5:30 in the morning, waiting for the rest of my body to wake up before I went out jogging. So, I (Steve) am writing this brief note just to give you a flavor of life at the moment.
While I have only been on one trip so far this year, it was a bit of a whirlwind. I traveled with a team from the US to the Turkana region of Kenya for an agricultural assessment in early February and then on to Zambia with two different teams in 10 days. Coming back to Mozambique keeps us just as busy planning for my next trip to eastern Africa (4 weeks long where Rachel gets to come with me for half the time) and keeping up with the Mozambique side of things. (More details in our coming newsletter.)
There are not many dull moments right now, but we are looking forward to a break come May 12 when we start our leave. In the meantime, nearly every day has something scheduled.
One thing we have been doing is saying goodbye to some special people. The Nigerian ambassador and his wife have been part of the leadership team at our church and we will miss them.
With some other friends at the farewell party. Some of them are also leaving soon. We have had to get used to many comings and goings!
Our good friends, the Brandbergs:
