First entry--preparing for Mozambique

---

Okay, so Tucker and I are getting our blog started here. The idea is to keep everyone posted about what's going on for our Mozambique trip, July 12-Aug 6 2008. We'll be working in orphanages in and around Mozambique.
So far: started to listen to Portuguese CDs; sorted clothes and created hygiene kits to take to the orphanages where we'll be working; looked on the internet to find out what diseases we might be in contact with (um, there's a lot and they all involve festering something or other); printed out Portuguese primary songs for use in sharing time in the two Beira branches where we'll be attending church.
On tap for this week: figuring out and getting vaccinations and malaria medicine.
Please note and be impressed by the extraordinarily tough-looking photo, which includes a handlebar mustache I had for a few hours after shaving the beard I had for the Easter Pageant this spring.
We'll be traveling with a group called Care for Life. Their website is careforlife.org.
