Olá!

April 2, 2013

God is faithful everywhere! We've been in Portugal for two weeks ​now, and seriously I feel as though God has been holding us everyday. We are so blessed! Here are SOME of the awesome ways God has said, "Estou com vocês", which is Portuguese for "I am with you."

-Within ONE week we found and moved into the PERFECT apartment. They lowered the rent price, it is furnished, there are stores on the bottom floor of the buildings; it's nick-named "lego land"...what more could you want?

-An AMAZING family, who are also moving to Mozambique, literally arrived in Portugal 4 weeks before we did and have been a huge blessing to us. You can creep on them here. 

​-We have an awesome tutor. Seriously, he's LEGIT! Video to come soon so you can learn with us or laugh at us...which ever you choose. 

-Emotionally we have done great. With Easter, and my (Andrea) birthday recently, it could have been a tough first couple of weeks, but we have felt, "the peace that surpasses ALL understanding," and been affirmed that we are in the will of God over and over. ​

Jesus loves us. He loves you. He is alive. ​

Hello! I'm Andrea Marlin.

Matt and I live in Maputo, Mozambique--it's in Africa--with our kids, Cedar (4), Cypress (2), and Acacia (baby). Why? We are here starting discipleship movements among university students that will change the world. For real, we actually believe it!! Currently, we are on 30+ campuses and our days consist of changing diapers, talking about Jesus, and watching our favorite college students change Mozambique. We have the best life. #momentsinMoz

Matt doesn't complain, like ever, but this is the one place in the world that frustrates him, yet here he is *smiling. 😍 Today as we were working on things around our house, I was struck (again) by how amazing he is. He often lugs a heavy load and never mentions it. For example: If he sees this post he will be like, "what are you talking about?" 👌 It's not that he doesn't feel the weight, it's more like he feels that complaining would reduce what we get to be a part of to a job and not a joy. He lives so purposed, with such motivation and drive. It inspires me (but not too much because #youdoyouboo 😂.) Just feel like bragging on him. The end. *complete transparency, there have been plenty of non-smiling moments here. 😅
