We got the emails that the "group of 4" have arrived home in safety.
We are glad for that as we await our 15 guess from the UK today. We
also got word that another 6 from South Korea are arriving today also
and will be spending the night. So everyone is chipping in to clean
up, bake in the kitchen, and get places for them to sleep.
But that is today; yesterday we had our puppet show that we were
going to do on Saturday it went well and I will post a picture of it.
This all came about when we got the call that the people from South
Korea where coming and spending the night, so we moved our show up a
day. After the puppet show and supper, Will said to show the Jesus
film which he had on DVD and in the Chichewa language. So we setup
the projector and a sound system and connected it to a computer that
came from Canada. We set up a screen that could be seen from both
sides. I will post a picture also, but what the picture doesn't show
is the 200+ from the surrounding community on the other side of the
wall watching the movie. It was very humbling to think where we were
in Malawi Africa watching the Jesus film with them. We could not
understand a word of it, but watching the movie we knew which part of
the story we were at. Of course every girl had about 5 kids sitting
on them during the movie.
We have to go get ready for our guests. Wow you know that is funny
saying that like we live here.
Prayer request: That we stay healthy, and we have to start thinking
about packing up and heading home. With all the stress of it all, and
mixed feeling of home and wanting to stay.
Brad for the group
Each morning I've woke here at home, my first thoughts have been with you. Praying. Longing. Reflecting. May the rest of your stay be rich, productive, serving. Did the choirs sing yesterday too? Today? Loved how you set up the puppet show!! Kim has sent us a very thought provoking reading this morning that you must read on your return. Have fun making some new friends today!

ReplyDeletehmm . . . I posted earlier today, but it has not published . . . Each day I've woke with thoughts of all of you and the children first in my mind. I miss you all, have been thinking, reflecting, longing, praying. LOVED the puppet show set-up and trust that it all went well. Did you have the choir also? or did you do that today (Saturday)? Kim sent Sue and I a very thought provoking blog entry that I highly recommend you all read when you get home - touches on so many of the thoughts we have been dealing with and the thoughts you will wrestle with also. Continue your good work!! Enjoy making new friends! Praying you have a wonderful Sunday together. Lots of love ~Kris
