Mozambique to Micronesia DAY #1
We loaded all of our hiking packs into the back of the Harvest School's white truck. Tanya volunteered to take us to the airport. It has been a long week. I have been getting all of our extended outreach teams out. Some have gone to different nations such as Thailand, Nepal, Malawi, Sierra Leone and nations I cannot write about. Others have gone on ten-day bush bush outreaches to villages here in Mozambique. These three hundred laid-down lovers of Jesus are now taking all they have caught here at HS16 and carrying it to the darkest places of earth. We now set out for the island of Pohnpei in Federated States of Micronesia where we will be pioneering a new Iris base and Missionary Training Center. As we say goodbye to Mozambique for now, we know that the past two months of running really hard have been stretching, yet amazing.

Our first stop in this journey is Johannesburg, South Africa. It is one of two flights that our family travel together. We boarded the South African Airlines plane. This plane is bigger and more comfortable that the one that took us to Pemba two months earlier. The flight is only a couple of hours. It was nice that we could all arrive together in South Africa because I was able to change dollars into rands and help arrange a hotel in Joberg. We all ate hotdogs together in the airport, held hands and prayed, then went our separate ways.
