The first weekend in September we went with some friends/co-workers to the coast--about a 2 and a half hour drive from Nampula--at Chocas Mar. It was beautiful and relaxing...sort of...when we weren't running around after two little boys full of energy. But it WAS beautiful.
It was fun to be there with the three other families and get to know our co-workers outside of "work." The boys are really loving all the opportunities they've had to interact with other kids since arriving in Nampula.
Cohen went for a ride in a kayak. Notice the ever-so-cool goggles. Once he found them in his previously hidden stash of "beach toys," he insisted on wearing them pretty much the remainder of the weekend.
And then after his adventure on the high seas, he got sort of cold and sat out for the next few hours...
On Sunday it was really neat to get together with everyone to sing a bit with our kids and just talk about what the Lord had been teaching us recently. What a special thing!--to share our families and our faith and worship ON VACATION with our co-workers. It was a neat reminder of how the body of Christ can function.
