I might as well start at the beginning and say something about Mother's Day. My mom hosted a Mother/Daughter luncheon where we played teach-your-daughter-the-basic-household-chores, which included scrubbing dried jam off a window. Then my mom gave a "lecture" as she says and we watched a quick clip of how many orders a mom has to give a day. You can watch it yourself at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z4ZsA6X9fA and it's a lot of fun! We had a really nice time.
Then my dad had his annual Evangelical Press Conference where pastors from all over the area came to listen to two amazing speakers. This year's topic was Marks Of A Healthy Church. Me and a friend tackled registration for about 125 pastors, elders, leaders and their wives. Nametags, gift vouchers, manuals, papercuts, sunburned noses and sweat-drenched foreheads were included. We had SO many last names that ended in "m" e.g. Mabuza, Mncina, Mazibuku, Mathebula, Masuku, Manwala, Mathbisala, etc. My dad MCed the whole two-day program, Cole and a couple of his buddies and two overseers hit the bookshop as cashiers, one of my dads friends recorded the whole thing, and a very dear lady offered to host the whole thing at her conference hall as well as house and cater everyone.
My dad, Cole and I would appreciate prayer as we are going to northern Mozambique for about a week, to help out at another conference sponsored by a Christian publishing organization in Brazil. Two-hundred and fifty Mozambiquan pastors and their wives are coming to learn on how to be a good Christian family. I hope everything goes well!!! So my next updaye will be on how that went. See you in a couple weeks!!!
Here's a couple random pictures of our family (Not all of us though. It's sorta hard to get eight people looking the same direction and smiling pleasant smiles at the same time!)
