We are currently in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, renewing a passport and completing Mozambican documents that can only be processed in the capital. We started processing them in Lichinga, but over 8 months later nothing was completed. We flew to Maputo on Tuesday, well over $2000 USD later, to find out that each time documents were sent from Lichinga, they were lost or sent incorrectly, and no one ever told us. Testimony: Months ago, we prayed and waited to see if the Lord would send funds to purchase plane tickets for this trip. Then we received an email from someone who just felt that God wanted to do something with our family. That family sent a donation that paid for most of the cost of plane tickets without knowing anything about our trip. We thank God for them listening to the voice of God and simply doing what He put on their hearts. Then, I felt the Lord telling me to wait before purchasing tickets. Just waiting a few days saved us about $400. We thank God for His love and willingness to speak (His voice) to His kids!
Some South Africans invited us to a braai (South African version of a BBQ with "real" red meat-no chicken allowed). Because we had already seasoned some chicken breasts for our dinner, we were allowed to grill them! Next time, we'll know better and not bring "vegetables" to the braai. South Africans will understand what we mean! :)
2 other visitors to Iris Zimpeto made this challah bread. It was braided in 5 strands.
Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, has a store "comparable" to WalMart.
Prices are much more expensive, but the store is huge and has so many varieties of items.
We bought 2 lbs of sausage, at 1/4 the price of sausage in Lichinga. I think we'll have to eat meat
almost every day while we are here. :)

Eating ice cream with a special treat-Oreos! Yes, Maputo has things that are rarities in Lichinga.
At the end of May, before we came to Maputo, Tiffany preached at the
Women's Celebration at a Nigerian church in Lichinga.
Love, Tyren and Tiffany Haynes
