i'm sad.

it would be impossible to try and put into words because i don't know exactly why myself. but for the team...

it is our halfway point. we have had a good weekend with a nice mix of 'working' and resting and playing - we went to the Savane beach today. it was amazing. but now we prepare to go into a full week starting tomorrow morning. new stuff. the week to see if we really can make a difference here. the week for many of us to jump into the projects we planned to do here (teach sewing, cooking, power point, worship team). it's also the week to wrestle with all the feelings that have already started surfacing about going home and living 'normal life'. and the week to hear what God may have for the Vineyard's Hope for Africa team and also each of us individually going from here.

we are truly LIVING here (doesnt' feel like visiting). our hearts are here. our feet have planted themselves, for many of us, in mozambiquan soil.

please keep praying for our protection as we go out this week.
for our efforts to be all that God has in mind for them to be.
for us to receive more of His heart and His perspective as we walk among the people.
and to hear from the Lord in personal, real ways. He is doing so much. and we need Him to do so much more.

thanks, friends.

much love,
jen
