Blessings

It's hard to believe our visit here in Africa is coming to an end. The bore hole is FINISHED!! It was so amazing to watch the faces of the children light up when they saw the clean water easily accessible to them. They immediately began to take buckets back to their village. It was so awesome to see.

We also went to the Crisis Nursery to hold tiny little babies. They were just so precious. I was instantly attached. I held little Martha. She kept crossing her cute little fingers. I of course had to take a picture of it. She was so content and happy. But she was fighting sleep the whole time I was holding her.

The kids are so cute! I just want to pack them in my suitcase and take them home with me. But alas, I cannot. Their eyes just light up when they see us coming. Smiles are continually on their little faces. I wish my arms were big enough to hug them all at the same time.

I am having a blast here. We've been told that Malawi is the warm hub of Africa. I can agree with that. Just passing by people we've received genuine warm smiles and waves.

Tionanna!

  1. Fabulous writ-ups guys. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us back here in the States.

    It sounds like all of you were a great blessing for the people of Malawi.

    The kids are so cute in their clothes that you took for them.

    God's grace and peace be with you all.

    Love
