Blessed Generation - Tica trip - November 2009

Happy belated Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving day was a busy day of work for me here so I celebrated it yesterday (Saturday) with the other missionaries on base. Samuel and I cooked the turkey with stuffing and pumpkin pie. It turned out yummy.

Last week the rains finally came which began the planting season here in Central Mozambique. On Friday Samuel and I left early in the morning and headed to Tica with about 45 youth to plant and work in the field that is for the group Blessed Generation (a group of kids at a near by church that are orphaned or in at risk situations that I have worked with). It was a long day of hard work, but the joy of completion feels good. Many other youth came just to help including one girl from another church.











After tilling the ground and planting corn we had a great feast of beans, rice and juice. I bought tons of veggies to cook in the beans because I wanted the meal to be full of nutrition. Most of the kids from Blessed Generation don't get that good of a meal. There was even enough for them to have seconds on beans.....


Esau, who has been helping with the organization of this project, said that we will need to go back to Tica sometime in December to clean the field of weeds.

Thank you so much to those who have been contributing financially and in prayer.

God is good all of the time!!!
