We're Here!!! We have arrived at our new home in Dondo Mozambique! The last few days have been a whirlwind with packing, traveling, unpacking, and trying to get settled in our new house. I was having trouble earlier today even remembering what day it was. But, we are here, God is so good, and we are excited for what's to come. The last week has been amazing and filled with so many blessings. All of the farewells were very tough, but we were so honored by the support and sending off of our friends and family. We were able to meet up with much of our family in San Francisco for the day before we caught our flight. We enjoyed our time with you all. Thanks for making the trip! Traveling went absolutely flawlessly. We even got extra seats on the our flight from New York to Johannesburg. And then we were blessed with probably the greatest miracle of all. All our baggage arrived safe, in tack, and all at the same time! We also were able to get through customs here in Mozambique WITHOUT even opening one bag! This was such a blessing because they tax on everything they think we might sell. Our house, the base, and even the city has all exceeded our expectations. It truly is beautiful here. Our house was finished just before our arrival. It looks great and is quite comfortable. Just within our first day here we were treated to many things that we did not acquire in Pemba when we were here at the end of last year. Some of those things being: Milk, cereal, real hamburger, and wheat bread in a loaf that actually has equally cut slices. Oh yes, and we can even flush our toilet paper. So to ease many of your thoughts that we were going to be living in mud huts, carrying water on our heads from a murky river, and doing our business in a hole under the stars, sorry to disappoint, but non of those things are a reality. The people and the atmosphere is much different here than what we experienced in Pemba. So far it seems to be more laid back. The people are kind. The kids aren't nearly as aggressive with our kids which is helping Lincoln and Haley adapt a little better than before. Lincoln and Haley are doing very well. They are enjoying our new house, which has actual flooring instead of just concrete so they are able to play on the floor with their toys. We have a team of 17 YWAM missionaries coming from South Africa on Friday, so these next few days are for resting, getting back on schedule, and gearing up for the team to arrive for 20 days of discipleship meetings, conferences, and ministry any many forms. We are thrilled to be here, our next step is learning the language so that we can communicate with people, we have been talking about putting Lincoln in the preschool here on base 3 days a week so that he can start to lean the language and make some friends. We are not sure what our day to day tasks will look like yet but we are ready to jump in where ever we are needed. We will continue to keep you all updated on what's going on and how God is moving here as we continue to get settled and see where He leads. We love you all and thank you for your prayers, support, and involvement in our lives. The Weaver Family Eric, Tawnya, Lincoln & Haley

On Our WayGreetings to all of our family, and friends. We hope and pray that all of you are well and continually increasing in the knowledge, faith, power, and love of Jesus. We are very excited for the next chapter to unfold in what the Lord has laid upon our hearts, and we wanted to take a moment to give an update on where we've been and what this next season will look like for our family. Our journey started just over a year ago when, through some very divine circumstances, the Lord laid on our hearts to step into full time missions. We took on the first leg of this adventure as we flew out to Pemba Mozambique last fall to receive training and gain eligibility to work with Iris Ministries full time. We spent three months there and had an amazing time taking part in what God's doing through salvations, miracles, healing, and much more. We have now been back in the States for three months, and the Lord has opened the doors for us to go back to Mozambique and work under Iris Ministries. The plane tickets have been purchased and our departure date is April 24th. Our new home for the next season of our lives will be in Dondo Mozambique in the central region of the country. And for those, much like me a year ago, that don't have a clue where Mozambique is, it is in south eastern Africa right on the Indian Ocean with bordering countries being South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania. Our hearts, as we go, are really focused toward getting the message of the gospel to the unsaved, discipleship, and bringing foundation and depth to the believers and churches that are already established. Also, as we are making final preparations for our trip, we wanted to be sure that everyone has updated information on how to keep up with us and walk with us. We will have internet, so making regular contact will be simple. Also, if you have interest in skype, arrangements can be made. We would love to be able to see your faces. We also want to make available the process to partner with us in finances. The Lord has laid on my heart not to ask for money and to rely on Him, but we do realize that there are many that would like to help in this way and need to know the process. All support and contact information will be listed on the next page. Thank you all for who you are to us and all the support, love, and prayers that have been poured out on us. We feel many times that we have been blessed with much more than we could ever pay back and are daily humbled by our God and our loved ones that continually back us. To that, our family extends to all of you a very heartfelt and humble thank you. We love you all so much!
