Our Missionary Kids
Living in Lichinga, Africa. In Mozambique, Lichinga is the town that we live in. The town is pretty small, but there’s a market, some small stores, an internet cafĂ© and some restaurants and hotels. There are also a couple of supermarkets we buy food from. But we live away from town. We have to drive five minutes to get in town. We live by the airport so we hear planes sometimes. We don’t have running water or electricity, so I have to pull water from the well outside. There are turkeys and chickens outside all the time. We also see lots of cool insects and lizards (and my favorite, chameleons). I play outside a lot, and play with my missionary friend, Elias. He’s from Australia. We play guitar a lot and we also play soccer with the village kids. We live up in the mountains, so it’s cool most of the time. There’s a cold and hot season. The cold season is dry and the hot season is wet. At the house we eat lots of normal food, things like burritos and tacos. Also spaghetti, pasta, pizza and other food. This is what it’s like in Lichinga, Mozambique. The boys from a nearby village called, “Assumane” come often to our house. They teach me some Yao and I read some verses from the Yao New Testament to them. Another thing I have had fun doing is going on dirtbikes to track villages. I ride on the back and take pictures and video along the way. Then my dad stops and marks the village name on his GPS. Living in Pemba, Africa. Living in Pemba is a lot different from Lichinga. We live right by the ocean, so it is hot and humid all the time. We go to the beach a lot and swim. We live in a huge IRIS Ministries compound with other missionaries. There are lots of papaya and mango trees on base, so we eat those a lot. They also have a big cafeteria where they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every morning, Monday through Thursday, we have classes at 8:00 am where we have worship, and a speaker. A guy named Charles Stock has spoken there. Rolland and Heidi Baker speak sometimes, too. Then we have lunch and the afternoon is free. Sometimes there will be a class in the evening, too, but not every night. So a lot of times, we have the evenings free, too. I like to hang out with the children adopted by IRIS. It’s very special to me. This is what it’s like in Pemba, Mozambique.

Playing with a child from Assumane...The kids after swimming in the Indian Ocean.
Lichinga.
Hello everyone! I’m a missionary in Africa. I live in Lichinga,
Mozambique. My house is white. It has a metal roof. I have a room with a
bunk bed on the left. Ahead you’ll see our school desks. For the door
we have a curtain. Let’s step out to the hall. At the end of the hall to
the right is Jesse and Tanya’s room. At the left end is the bathroom.
Where we are looking is the room mom and dad stay in. To the right is
their bed. Now we don’t have electricity (or running water) so we have
to flush the toilet with buckets of water and wash our hands with well
water and something to soap with.

Lichinga, Africa. We have no electricity in Africa. Barely any kids get to go to Africa. In some places there’s electricity. We saw baboons and wild deer. Pemba, Africa. Same thing, but, God called us to Pemba, also. I went swimming. We made an ant park.
