I think I've started a post about ten times and each time, I've just not finished it. There are a number of reasons, lack of time, lack of means (I knocked my laptop to the the tile floor by accident while still in Mozambique and it is not turning on!) and a few other things, but either way, it's time to start writing again!
I can hardly believe that two weeks ago today, I was attending my last church service in Moz. Various church people had presents for me and presented them to me in front of the entire congregation. By the time they were finished, I had tears streaming down my face. These are good people. I have been blessed to get to know them.
I left Moz on the following Monday. The trip from Beira to Joburg to DC took a full 24 hours, plus a seven hour time change. Normally, I have no problems sleeping on planes, but this 18 hour flight, sleep eluded me. There was a surprisingly bad selection of films and a rather negative woman in the seat behind me (who didn't mind sharing her opinions rather loudly with her husband and those of us in a ten seat radius.) Aside from that, the flight was uneventful. I like adventures, but in terms of plane rides, uneventful is a good quality!
It was wonderful to see family once back in PA. I swapped my swim suits and sandals for sweaters and slippers, but the fall leaves are gorgeous and I love sitting by a fire on a chilly evening. It doesn't hurt that there is usually a little Jack Russell Terrier who is happy to sit with me.
