When we left Mozambique in 2008, we packed up books and other ministry materials with the hopes that maybe someday we would be able to use them again. We stored these boxes in a container outside the house. Well, we knew that there were termites and cock roaches in that container and tried to get rid of them, but didn't know to what extent the damage they were up to!!! Today I decided to do some cleaning there and several boxes were so totally eaten up by termites. What surprised me when cleaning out one box was of all the books, magazines, etc... that were in that one box, everything was eaten on to some extent EXCEPT these three Portuguese New Testaments! They were as clean as could be! We lost about half of what we had in that box! Other books were questionably "salvageable"!
During lunch today we had a nice view from our front deck of a Lilac Breasted Roller. They are such beautiful birds but make such an awful ruckus. They come around a lot this time of year, often seen chasing the crows away. We are so thankful to be able to enjoy so many beautiful birds and plants in our front yard.
