The Red Sauce Isn't Ketchup

Today started early, we woke up at 6am and had breakfast then headed over to the airport and jumped on a plane to Maputo. It was such a blessing to be on a plane for only 1 hour after yesterday’s 15 hr flight. Once we arrived in Maputo we spent quite a while in customs getting our visas. Once we received our visas and got all of our bags we met up with Daniel and Samone from World Hope.

We got into two trucks and headed to Xai Xai which was a 2 hr drive (really Todd???) from Maputo.  Samone got pulled over twice on the way to Xai Xai and had to pay off the cops .  Once we arrived at the  Lehman’s residence, we unpacked and  walked down to the ocean.  It was a great experience to put our feet in the Indian Ocean. Afterwards we walked back to the house and had dinner which included ham sandwiches, fresh fruit sald, brownies and sweet tea!! We were honored to meet a couple of  local missionaries and got to hear amazing stories of how God is at work here in Mozambique. We felt right at home as soon as we arrived here at the Lehmans  and feel very blessed to know them.   We are now getting ready for bed so we can get up early and watch the sunrise over the Indian Ocean which should be amazing!
