Maputo at last!



We made it! Along with all five bags! A real miracle. Thank you all for your prayers concerning our bags! Many folks on our flight didn't get any of their bags. We waited an hour or so for our visa. Ann, Dave and Larry, from OMS, met us at the airport. Dave suggested that we "act like we own the place" and walk right past the customs office. We followed Dave out of the airport and skipped customs altogether! Larry and Susan Weil offered to house us and have been taking good care of us all day, including a tour of Maputo which is on the Indian Ocean (the boys put their feet in the water) and a tour of the school where we will be working these next three weeks.

We are doing well, a bit tired, but happy to be here. We miss you all!

Wow--a tremendous lot of energy and adrenaline and JOY went into your trip from here to there. I love the Von Schimmelman 'party atmosphere' comment a few days ago. Sounds to me like the joy of the Lord! Wish I could wrap my arms around each of you. Thank you for the faith and love and joy and patience you always share with us. Love, Wendy Johnson
