Well yesterday i Got back from Mozambique, unfortunately my bag is still in South Africa! Though they are going to deliver it, so basically it just saved me taking it home myself! 
Mozambique was amazing, it was just so wonderful to be a part of what is going on out there, i really fell in love with the country and stuff it was amazing. We lived on an orphanage just outside Maputo, which was beautiful, about 70 or so kids lived there i think. But part of the orphanage was also a school and a church, so many of the Children came to the school, or families to the church etc, so there was always loads of kids!
The 2 weeks were very relaxed, this seems very much how they live their life out there, no such thing as power walking existed! Its all about the slow casual walk, letting your feet sink into the sand each step! So i fitted in perfectly!
A few of the mornings we went out with Pastor Edwardo, to visit local families or widows from the church, many were very ill with HIV and other such diseases. I found this very moving, and more than anything just learned so much from the faith these people had, in the Church every time there was a call for people to be prayed for healing, everyone would go up who needed it, there was no shame in asking for prayer, because people knew that God wants to heal. Even the kids who had medical problems would be straight up there.
The first Saturday we went on an outreach trip, got on a ferry, which was not dissimilar to a stereotypical picture of a shipwreck! And we went out to some villages far into an island thing, here they go every other Saturday, and probably about 200 or so kids come along into this sheltered building Iris ministries built for them and they sing songs, so loud that it genuinly hurt my ears a little! They danced, and they heard the gospel. Afterward we gave them all a rather large piece of bread each! Which they were all very chuffed about. It was obvious that they look forward to this day every other week! None of the Kids even took a bite out of the bread there and then though, they all just held it close to them, some even up their Jumper!!
So yeh, i won’t go for an extra long post right now, i will post another one later of some other things we got up to and stuff. And some pictures too
Thank you so much for your prayers also, i didn’t get ill! I also didn’t get bitten by one single mosquito! I did however get attacked by a monkey on the last day though!! That will be a good scar to have, i can imagine it now… ‘Where did you get that scar on your arm?’… ‘Oh that? Just when a monkey attacked me…’ !!
