doing life
together
Sally
Sally, age 26, visited the team
in Mozambique on a Global
Xposure visit nearly four years
ago and hit it off Hannah, age
16, the daughter of the team
leader and his wife. While Sally
returned to Mozambique for
nine months to help look after
the younger children of other
team members who were doing
language study, hanging out with
Hannah in her down time was
a highlight. Sally’s most recent
trip to Mozambique earlier this
year saw the two pick up where
they left off. Sally is preparing to
return, this time as a long-term
team member.3

Hannah and I definitely clicked straight
away. When I wasn’t looking after the
kids, visiting friends in their villages
or spending time with people at the
hospital I loved spending time with
Hannah. We’d go on weekend walking
adventures, bake and explore the local
markets.
One time Hannah and I joined her
younger brothers in a photo scavenger
hunt and tried to capture objects
that started with every letter of the
alphabet. We had to be very creative,
thinking of different names for dirt,
sticks and mud! It took a long time but
we persevered and have lots of funny
photos from that day.
There is so much I admire about
Hannah. She is brave, always keen for
an adventure, generous and filled with
grace and love! Hannah’s love for her
family inspires me. She will often make
meals to help her mum out, or bake
some treats to share with her brothers.
I also admire how Hannah makes time
for her friends, even though some of us
are so far away. She is always willing
for a Skype chat and often sends
encouraging emails and is always
interested in how I am.
Hannah loves Jesus and that is written
across her life, especially in the way she
interacts with people and generously
gives of her time to help others.
I’m looking forward to more exploring
with Hannah when I get back to Africa.
There are many hills still to be climbed!
Most of all though, I’m looking forward
to sitting with Hannah at her dining
room table sharing life together and
more than likely, eating one of her
famous brownies.

I remember first meeting Sally on her
Global Xposure trip. She jumped out of
the car, introduced herself and showed
genuine interest in my experiences, the
culture here and the work we're doing.
On her next trip to Mozambique we
quickly adopted her into our family.
Even though I was busy with my
schooling, I loved helping Sally look
after the kids and spending time
with her. Some of my best memories
are exploring the bush, rivers and
mountains and sliding down our special
mud pit during rainy season!
