Horrible at Blogging

Honestly, I am really bad at blogging. I know it does not really take that long to say a few words, yet I find my days don't ever go as planned and if I do have a good internet connection I have so many things to do blogging just gets pushed to the bottom of the list.

So, now that I kind of explained myself I am blogging today and can mark something off of my to do list!

How am I? Good, much better! I have been dealing with boils for the last year I think the count is now 12 and this last one was the worst of them all. IT appeared on my left shin bone. It was deep and wide... sounds like a song a sang as a kid!!!! I am tired of them so started some research and have been disgusted by these things but now even more so. It appears a Bot fly egg may be the cause and there for a worm has been the cause of the boils. This last one i pulled out 2 worms together the size of my index finger. GROSSSSS. I am better and did major house cleaning and will fumigate the house soon.

Kids are great! Enia 11 and as tall as me, Popinho 4 and the king of the House he is so funny and cute... Homeguito now 13 is still sweet and quite... Popo soon to be 27 is doing well, still our VP at Beacon of Hope and finishing school.

God has blessed us, we are all healthy and happy!

Blessing to you all!

Chapas ....Still don't like them

Today for the first time in like 7 years I had to travel to town on a chapa. My first year after starting the Hope House project, did not have a vehicle we took the local transport and I prayed hard and long for a car. God provided and I have not used one since. My Honda has had suspention probelms. The car is from Japan, and the roads here in Moz are not great so our wheels are not good. This has brougt back so many memories for where I have been and how far I have come, during my 9 years here. I am very thankful for a vehicle.

The kids and I have been sick over the last few months, malaria, colds, popinho's asthma has been acting up... but praise God we are all better.

I am getting ready to visit the US in a few weeks and I am very excited to visit, see friends and family, but keep me and my family in your prayers as i will not be traveling with my kids. I will miss them and i know they will miss me... Enia and Popinho have not been away for me for more than a week at a time, so this will be a streach for all of us!

God bless you and thanks for yor prayers!

Coming Home!

After 5 years of waiting on adoption papers I have decided to take a short trip home. I am disappointed that I have not yet received,the adoption papers. I am praying and believing that I will get them in the next 31 days before I board the plane. What a celebration that will be. My kids will not be able to travel with me so please keep us all in your prayers. This will be the first time I have been away from the kids for more than a week. I will be arriving in Pensacola Florida April 26th - May 5th Texas May 6th - May 11th then back to Mozambique.

The kids are good Enia and Homeguito are doing really well in school and love it. Popinho is walking! We are all so blessed and he is working hard to keep up with Enia and Homeguito. Popo has started University and is really enjoying his studies. I am working trying to get caught up, I really need a secretary! Ha Ha... So much to do so little time.

Continue to pray for our health and protection.... In the last 2 months I have suffered with pink eye in both eyes, and malaria. Popo, Enia and Popinho have had malaria and upset stomachs over the last 2 months. Your prayers are a blessing and we thank you!

God bless and hope to see or talk with you while I am home!

Angie and kids

Sunday was a nice relaxing day. the kids went to visit grandma's and I was home alone and I laid on the couch and watched the Walton's most of the afternoon, all this after a great time at church with our youth. I then made burritos with all the fix ens. Mexican food night is not often but the most enjoyed meal!

Kids start school tomorrow we start getting up at 5:30 am each morning again, but praise God they will be going to school right around the corner. It is going to be a very busy week as everything is starting to come into full swing.

It has been so hot here in Mozambique, but a few days ago a few clouds blew in and a little rain cooled things down a bit. I am currently in South Africa for a few days rest. The missionary house where I stay, which is very nice, has a beautiful pool which I was planning to refresh in, but with the rain and coolness of the day I have not yet been able to enjoy the pool. I still have a few days left so hopefully I will get my chance!

I will be returning to Mozambqiue on Wednesday, the kids are all starting school and we will hit the ground running, so much to do, so I am very thankful for a few days of R&R. Keep us in your prayer...last week I was sick for about 2 days with a stomach bug, and Popinho was sick with malaria. We are all in good health presently and pray for God's continued protection.

Blessings!

Already a few days into the new year and still work as usual. My kids are having fun playing with cousins and friends, but will soon, in a few weeks be starting school again. Enia will be in 5th grade, and Homeguito will be in 6th grade. They grow up so fast!!!!

We are making an appointment for Popinho as he is trying to walk but his left foot and ankle turn to the side and its hard for him to walk on it. He wants to and it is more noticeable than before, so pray with us that they will know exactly what we need to do so he can walk. I believe with all my heart that he will walk!!!

We are all healthy and ready for this new year!!!

New Years Eve

Well everything is very quite here at my house. I have nothing planned for New Years Day, and my kids were invited to stay at their Grandmas house (Popo's Mom - Popinho is her grandson, but she claims Enia too, so nice) they are staying the night so they can see and pop firecrackers with their cousins. So, that leaves me at home alone. I will enjoy the quite and alone time, but I already miss my kids!!!!

So I am going to watch a movie and eat Pizza!

Praying we get our money and adoption papers today?????
