A New Season–Pemba Mozambique I made it safely to Mozambique, with bags intact, which is pretty much a miracle, so yay God. I’m not quite adjusted yet—wishing I had brought a big thing of olive oil for all the beans and rice—but glad I brought my Nyquil for sleeping …
Ok so I won’t exactly be in something this small…but the time for my departure back to Africa is rapidly approaching. Zion Project has had many successes this year and its time to go back to Uganda and put plans in motion to care more fully for the …

These excerpts are my philosophy on Zion Project and on life. Just wish they had been written by me. Instead they are from Irresistible Revolution, one of my favorite books I am reading right now. My heart is sad in being away from all I love in Uganda and from the impending crisis of food …
