First Couple of Days!

This is a copy of an email sent to us and I just copied and pasted into Deanna's blog:

Hey family and friends!!
So I am already in LOVE with Mozambique! I don't have long on here,
but know a blog post is coming shortly :)
I miss you all! and to all who sent me texts, THANK YOU! it was so
sweet to hear from you!

It is really hot here haha maybe 90s and humid? and we are outside all
day..after day one i figured out exactly what i shouldve packed and
what i packed that was unnecessary.

I have great house mates! 13 girls cramed into the smallest rooms ive
ever seen with 2 bathrooms. like there isnt even enough room to change
in your room, and the bathrooms are all covered with water. haha and i
love it!!

I have already heard Randy Clark and Heidi Baker speak twice!! This
weekend we have the amazing opportunity to go to a Mozambican
conference in Maize (dont know the spelling). It is about 20 minutes
off base. Heidi and Randy are leading it. We will camp out all weekend
with no showers or bathrooms with about 1000 mozambican pastors who
will have traveled days to get here! It is a one of a kind
opportunity!

Ill probably repeat some of this in my blog, but thats ok lol..

I never knew I could love this children so much. The kids on the iris
base are just amazing. I need so much grace to help remember their
names and faces and to learn the language.

I do have a few prayer requests :)
-grace for the heat of Mozambique! haha im white.
-please pray for increased hunger for the presence of God for me. I NEED IT!!!
-that the Lord would keep revealing my destiny in greater measures
-that I never get tired of rice and beans every meal! yay!!

Oh there is so much joy in communion with God and His people!

I love you all!!

Deanna

P.s. I love hearing from you guys!! please write me :)
