A Jon Post<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Welcome to 2011. Sorry this post didn\u2019t make it up on the weekend. Hopefully our loyal readership doesn\u2019t abandon us for our lateness.

Even up until the day he died.<\/p>\n (December) A hug from Tom\u00e9 and a kiss from L\u00facia<\/p>\n
\nSo 2010, huh? What a year! And 2011? Lots coming our way I think!
\nIn 2010 we moved into Mozambique with bright eyes, hopeful hearts and a lot of determination. We wanted to see the Kingdom of God brought here to Maputo and to the hospital. We set our hearts on being a hand to hold in last days, and being a smiling face in painful ones.
\nIn 2010 our daughter started her journey into our lives.
\nThere were a lot of bold, fearless moments, many successes.
\nAnd there were failures, broken hearts, breathless lungs, and tear-streaked faces.
\nIn 2010 we\u2019ve learned to find and see the Lord in the little victories and miracles along the way.<\/p>\n
