A Jon Post<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Sorry this post is a day after the weekend. We went to Lobatse, Botswana to spend some time with some good friends and watch the Superbowl. It\u2019s about a 4 hour drive from where we are staying now and we think well worth the time we got to spend with the sweet Walker family.<\/p>\n We\u2019re getting ready to start our (very) long drive to Angola this coming weekend. It seems like the days\/weeks go by so fast and I often find myself trying to find the time to just remember. I heard a sermon recently, mostly focusing on communion, which stirred my heart about remembrance. When Layne and I went to Mozambique in December I had thought we would be waiting there for at least 4-6 months (again, at least) and maybe up to a year or more. We ended up spending just over 7 weeks in Mozambique and I ended up marveling at how much the Lord exceeded my expectations in those short 7 weeks.<\/p>\n With the life we\u2019ve been living it\u2019s been so easy to let myself simply move from one thing to the next as this whirlwind pushes us along. But I think it\u2019s important, and I want to take the effort to remember the moments God stamped my heart, and the hearts of those around me, with His presence.<\/p>\n There are so many more memories but those are the few that jump to my mind when I first start thinking about our time there over the last 2ish months. Thank you all so much for trusting us with ministry there.<\/p>\n We have applied at the Angolan Embassy here in South Africa for our visas and we are praying, praying, praying that they will be ready this coming Friday the 12th<\/sup>. They told us to come back that day, however we have heard that they are prone to delaying those original dates.<\/p>\n I may have injured my shoulder in the showing of the final soccer game in Mozambique. It\u2019s been bothering me since then and, as of the last few days, been getting a little worse. I had surgery on it 7 years ago because of an injury I got in Botswana that year. When you think of it, I\u2019d ask that you pray that it heals back up. I\u2019ve had some trouble with it of and on since the surgery. The doctors expected it and so did I but these past couple weeks have been a little more trouble than usual.<\/p>\n That\u2019s all. I know this is long so I\u2019ll just finish with a quick bulleted list of things we would ask you to partner with us in prayer.<\/p>\n A Jon Post Sorry this post is a day after the weekend.
