This past Wednesday I had the wonderful opportunity to visit 6 different homes in the villages surrounding us. Four of the homes were of widows and two were older married couples whom our center is or will be assisting. I want to write more devoted to this but one of the special encounters that day was this couple who have been married for 43 years. That is at or above the average entire life expectancy for Mozambicans.

They were so precious and full of joy.

What made this joy even more amazing was this.

Here is a photo of their home. Make a careful examination of the roof … or lack of one. The back is in even worse condition than the front.
