(dis)location, location, location

February 26, 2013

Yep, Matt dislocated his shoulder...again, this time playing ultimate frisbee, as equally an uninteresting story as last time's tubing incident. So, we've been telling people he was fighting the devil, shark bite, etc. He's sore, but feeling better. (Click the picture to see the identity of the guy responsible...he made up for it by driving us to the ER, and getting Matt Starbucks.)

​We've been on the road SO much these past few weeks with services and the sectional council tour. North Little Rock 1st has graciously let us move into their AMAZING missions house, so we now have a place to ourselves, and a central location to crash. We've been blessed to have awesome parents, family, and churches to help make iteration smooth. 

We still do not have an official departure date, BUT we did get our visas for Portugal in the mail TODAY! Praise God!!! Please pray with us as we only lack a handful of pledges to be at 100%! ​

In our journey, travel Tags dislocation, visas, moving
 

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. 😅
