Hello from Mozambique AFRICA!!!
We have finally arrived after several days of exhausting travel!!! Right now we are in Southern Mozambique (Maputo) and we are being taken care of by some other missionaries...they said the next few days will be full of rest and relaxation and then a little orientation. As we arrived, we had a huge greeting from the missionary family at the airport. We made it through customs without having to pay any money. (thank you Lord!!) They like to charge foreigners for everything that they bring in, but the missionaries helped us with the language barrier and told them we were poor missionaries and the 8 gigantic bags that we had were for us to live in country for the next 2 years.
It was Corey's birthday yesterday...the big 28!!! We celebrated at a restaurant with the other missionaries...one lady even made him a homemade cake (all from scratch!) Then we took a 4 hour nap, woke up ate dinner and then back to bed for another 12 hours!!!! I think we are caught up now! This time change is a rough one! We are 8 hours ahead of Utah. We will be heading to Nampula on Tuesday morning. Thanks for you prayers. We are so grateful to the Lord for finally arriving safely in Mozambique! We will try and post pictures later.

Glad you made it safe and were received warmly. Hopefully the jet lag won't last too much longer!
Yippeee!!! Glad you are there safe and sound...crazy to think you are blogging from across the world! Praying for your adjustment!
Praise God! It is great to hear that you got some rest and that your missionary family was there to greet you and help you throught the airport. God is great! We love you! And are praying for you. Let us know what we can specifically pray for you this week. Hey! It is Memorial Day tomorrow (5/29). Have a barbeque and a hot dog. Just make sure its not your neighbor's dog. Jenni, what are Corey's bicep measurements? You really need to post that information. Mark Kraft was wondering.
---Love, Tony

I am so happy that you all made it! Happy Birthday Corey, and Jenni on Thursday!
So glad all went well! Hopefully you are in Nampui (spelling?) Happy belated B-day Corey and Happy Birthday Jenni.

Hope the full first week is going well and you are finding where the restrooms are. That was the best advice I got when I came to Utah to serve- find out where the basics are and you'll settle in fine.

All my love to the birthday boy. 28, ey? - somewhere in Utah mama Duncan sheds a tear for the memories.
Here's hoping the so-called 'dark continent' can teach an increasingly old dawg some new tricks, and that the dawg can in the meantime dispel, by the grace of God, some of said darkness from said continent.
