SCHOOL IS OUT!!

I so enjoyed Eagles-Wings School of Ministry for the month of February.  I must confess though, the last week of school I so started looking forward to the adventure of  ‘vacation time’.  YIPPEE!! I travelled to Cheam (Surrey) to stay with my cousin for two weeks where I learned to prepare and eat lamb!  So delicious…    DSC01165            

Living in Mozambique for three years, I was not prepared for the freezing winter weather I was encountering.  Thx, Gwen, for the boots, coats, sweaters and scarves!  I bundled up during the week and met with friends who showed me the sights of London and Camden Town.  Riding the train was a new experience for me – anxiety attacks the first day or two: ‘Am I on the right train?  If not, I need to get off at next stop and turn around.  If I can just get to Clapham Junction, I will know where I am.’  Anyway, all went well and I had no train catastrophes.  PTL  By the time I left, I was a ‘train riding’ pro.

After two weeks of a wonderful vacation of living the life of luxury, I boarded the plane for Joburg, South Africa.  I luv Africa….it is so wonderful to be back – the weather is warm (yeah!) and I am so blessed with many South African friends I get to spend time with!   Although I am not back in Mozambique until April 2nd, I am back in Africa and that puts me closer to my home (and kitty cat, Esperanza) at the center in ZImpeto Mozambique.

Thank you for following my blog.  Stay tuned and you will be ‘introduced’ to the boys in my dorm this year.  God has blessed me with 25 boyz ages 15-17 yrs.  I am excited for what God is going to do with them and look forward to sharing with you.  Blessings to you and yours……

England

As you know, Jan. 29th I left my home in Mozambique for some rest and relaxation – time for a break!  Jan. 31st thru Feb. 25th, I was privileged to attend Eagles-Wings School of Ministry where I learned and studied more about The Father’s Heart.  Four weeks of intense biblical foundation - worship, dancing, Heavenly language, and prophetic word was a wonderful way to begin my time away.   Many thanks to both Wakley families for making this possible and taking such good care of me.  The pix below show part of the school facilities and myself with my best friend while attending school – the heater!!  I am not used to the cold weather I am encountering.

On Saturdays the wonderful Staff at school took us sightseeing – beautiful old castles, Stourhead Gardens (scenes from Sense & Sensibilities), Dancing Ledge on the English Channel.  We all

bundled up and enjoyed!

I am continuing my rest and relaxation time in London where I am staying with my cousin, Gwen.  I look forward to seeing some of the people who have visited our center in Zimpeto the last two years.  Am excited to catch up on their lives and attend church with two of them before I leave!

That is it from here……..Miss you Zimpeto!!!
