This is Africa

We are still in Mozambique, and as I am writing this I am drenched in sweat because the computer is in a tiny little room in the hotel that is BURNING UP! We have gone out to the village of Nkobe every day. So far the guys have dug a 40 ft trench, installed a water tank on top of a tower, removed an onld hand-pump from a well and have attempted to install a motorized pump -we're still workin on that one, TIA (read below) and all the time still playing with kids who so desperately need some love and attention. They come to the Care Point to get their one meal a day, but also get fed spiritually and emotionally....this trip has been amazing...Everyone needs to come to Africa and leave a piece of themselves here - EVERYONE. I have plenty of pictures and stories for when I get home. We leave for Swaziland in a cople days, which will be great as well! Please keep praying for us - we are relying on your prayers!

TIA - This is Africa

This pretty much sums up everything here. When something doesnt go as planned - "TIA", when you see something just downright crazy - "TIA". You just have to take a deep breath and say...TIA.

Brandon, For those us of back in the states who are checking the Elevate blogs at least 3 times a day, this trip sounds amazing! You and the team are living "out of the boat" right now, doing what God has called you to do! Keep it up! Love, Momma Moose
