The Big Move

The time had come. The moving truck was on the way!

The process was crazy.
First, I was sorting through EVERYTHING and piling up the give-away stuff.
Then, I was sorting the rest of our stuff into the things we would take with us in our car
and the thing we would put on the moving truck.

My helpers were great!

In the meantime, our car was broken-down and in pieces in our driveway.

Then our Zimbabwean mechanic shows up one morning with a transmission!

We were praising God for this miracle.

And the movers kept wrapping and packing....for days!

Maybe it took so long because they were playing around!?!
(Not really, they did a good job.)

That's lots of stuff.

They used up every bit of space on that truck.

Almost everything fit.

That's the crew!

During all of the craziness of moving week, Emma had a lesson from our houseworker, Anita,
on how to make her Lemon Chicken. It is Emma's favorite recipe and she HAD to learn how to make it.
There is no Anita in Zambia. 

Yummy!

The new family got to our house before we could get moved out, so we went to a hotel for a few nights. 
The girls had a beautiful view from their balcony.

There was something wrong with the contrast between the nice new hotel and the outside world of Nampula.
But, we were so thankful to have a good place to rest during such a stressful week. 

After being back in Nampula for a month, we were finally getting on to Zambia! We are ready!

Thankfully,
