    Man, has it really been a week since I wrote anything for this blog?  I have been fairly active and been put through some trials – you try to ditch a nagging, bad habit!  Anyway, it appears to have been done with the help of Jesus.  Allergies persist.

    Today I went to Caruso’s for a luncheon for a South African missionary who is working in Mozambique up by Maupula.  He has translated the New Testament into the local dialect of the Makhua Xirima peoples (about a million souls).  He was an interesting guy who can read early Greek and Hebrew fluently plus Portuguese, Afrikaans and English (and others).  His stories were realistic and full of interest.

    Today we also received our new dishwasher – a Kitchen Aid – and it was installed by the time I returned.  It is black and under-the -counter type.  Interestingly it takes much longer for a full cycle than the 30 year old one that broke.  The new is certainly not of equivalent value and I doubt it will last 30 years  without repair.

    Earlier in the week I did about 6 Geocaches and would like to continue on that path for a while.  I have been staying inside too much and I feel cabin fever very strongly.  I do get out on Wednesday where I am outside security for the church children (about 100 on any given Wednesday) but need some daylight time outside to get the vitamin D from the sun.  I need it! Here are some Geocaching photos in Steuben County, Indiana. [slideshow=4]
