We praise God our daughter Chloe married a godly man this last Saturday. Everything was "out of the box" yet drenched with the dew of heaven. Except the blessing from the two families, Jonathan and Chloe wrote everything to be in the wedding including their vows. Awesome music, choreography, content, and example of purity and devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ. It is truly a joy to us to see God provide husbands for our daughters as we leave for Mozambique.
Melissa's last days in Brazil brought many opportunities to practice Portuguese. Once at a nearby backery she asked for "egg juice" instead of "grape juice" and another time asked for "black cheese" instead of "plate cheese". She's having fun laughing with others over these things. While we're on the food subject, Melissa had a biblical insight to share. It seems that Tuesday must be the best/most important day of creation (3rd day) as it is the day God created chocolate (plants)! Lord willing Mozambique will have some good chocolate!
Please pray for the following:
- That we'll be able to get everything on the container to Moz this Friday
- Blessings in speaking at a church in Stoctkon, MO (Sunday 13th), final time with our home church (20th), and time with family before departure.
- Safe and Healthy travel to Mozambique and then 3-4 days via car from the capital to Nampula.
- That we'll quickly be able to find my mother a pickup truck in the capital so that we can make it up to Nampula in time to start our government paperwork there within 30 days of entering the country.
We're looking forward to getting setup in Nampula by the end of May and communicating with you all then, if not earlier.
God bless you!
Daniel & Melissa Maddux with Elijah and Esther.
