On US Soil

We successfully landed in Philly on Thursday of last week. We will be in the US for three months to visit family and to do storytelling at churches and colleges for Mennonite Central Committee. Maybe we will have the chance to see some of you our readers.

It is a little surreal coming back to the land of milk and honey but it is also welcomed at the same time. It is hard to be so far away from brothers and sisters who are suffering in the drought in Mozambique but we also know that our presence there does not make that big of a difference in the large scope of things. All we can do is hope and pray. Nadia is enjoying the different climate and has been very friendly to all of her many relatives. She has warmed up to the grandparents which has been very important. We hope that this can be a time for her to connect with her family before we head back to Mozambique for two and a half more years.
