SO APPARENTLY "MACUBA" IS SPELT MOCUBA
We're now at a Dutch familie's home in town using their internet so it's good to see what you're all saying. Keep the comments a flowing. They make us happy.
So we've settled in well at Bernadettes getting to know her and the locals around Osivela wa Yesu (O.W.Y - the pre school and medical clinic complex) alot better. "The mother Teresa of Mozambique" (as we've named her) loves a good film at night and it's great just to spend time with her.
Our Portugese is improving as you constantly are greeting new people wherever you go. Pray that continues to improve as it makes things alot easier.
Emma has been teaching some English to the kids at the pre school and I have been helping make a gate. The gate is being fixed to the entrance wall we made with the C'stone team in July. The wall is still standing and it's looking alot different. The whole complex in general is looking alot different. The Dutch team that came in Aug worked really hard (probably 'cause they're nearly German) and you can see some of their work in the photos.
Yesterday we had a little trip into town on bikes that Bernadette hooked us up with, liscences and all. A local O.W.Y handyman called Elias took us on a guided tour yesterday which was a pleasure. Mocuba is not the "rural village'' we once thought it was, it's bigger than you think. In July we just didn't get to experience anything other than rats, the road to Malawi, Andrew's farts, Philippe, the wall and digging trenches. Mocuba is 'bonita'.
As always, we don't know when we'll get on tínterweb so I hope all is well and we'll hopefully get on soon. Keep praying.
Love

MACUBA
We're staying at the moment in Quelimane with Oswaldo and Annemaria.
Tomorrow I help with "Soccer" cell group and Emma heads to church. In the afternoon we'll get on a packed out bus and head up to meet Bernadette in Macuba.
Work will begin, internet will be in short supply and we'll hopefully not get sun stroke. It's gonna be great.
Come on the spurs tomorrow. Someone let me know how that goes, we could do with the win.
Loves,
Jonny/Emma
