Elizabeth and I were finally reunited on Mozambique Island
for Beer Olympics. We stayed the night with Eduardo, a really intelligent and
nice Portuguese Expatriate who had been working here in Mozambique for five
years and was finally leaving to go home at the end of this month. He has done
so many great things for this country so I was grateful we had the opportunity
to say goodbye to him before he left forever.
To celebrate my birthday I ate pizza (YUM. SO WORTH IT) and
we went snorkeling/kayaking near the fort. When I got home, Elizabeth made
cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I had a really fun day until Elizabeth
realized that the money we had been saving for the library was stolen. Someone
had taken money out of our communal wallet before but this time was much worse.
The total amount was around $200 and I knew exactly who had done it, although I
hadn’t realized it had happened earlier. After talking to the family, police,
and judge, nothing was resolved. We never got any of the money back but still
trying to continue with library construction as planned. Trusting that it’ll
all work out in the end.
