Mom Visits Mozambique Again


We have Mom (a.k.a Grandma to our kids) visiting us here in Lichinga for a several weeks. As you can imagine, it’s nice to have people visit us from the U.S. While we are continuing in ministry, here’s a glimpse at some of the other things that we have been up to.

We drove nearly 2 hours to visit a Macadamia Nut farm where they irrigated their fields using a pump which is a motor from a Toyota dual cab truck powered by steam produced from a wood furnace. We had to cross the river below in our truck just to get to the farm.


The bridge collapsed so we took the scenic drive through the river

We celebrated Isaiah’s 8th birthday with all the kids at the center. The kids loved the water balloon toss/roll into holes.

Amerel celebrated her 11th Birthday with some friends. My mom made a homemade piñata which the girls loved.

Grandma also insisted on cooking a Thanksgiving meal for us. Chicken, one turkey leg, Macaroni and cheese and local veggies. Yep, we ate more expensive food since Grandma is here. But we told her she’ll have to eat like we normally do just to get the real feel of how we live.


We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Thank you for praying for us and taking part of the harvest here in Lichinga and beyond.

Love,  Tyren and Tiffany Haynes
