January 26,2023 “Mommy, do you ever get lonely?” At that moment I could answer her no because with homeschool, cooking meals, trying to get laundry done when the electricity is working (which, praise the Lord, has been more often lately)…I don’t have time to get lonely. She was asking because they all have friends hereContinue reading “When Faced With Loneliness”

January 24,2023 Kids were already waiting for us as we pulled into the village. Because of the chief’s request to meet on his property, we pulled onto the opposite side of the main road from last week. Brother Shadrick hopped out of the truck to lead the group of kids to our new meeting place,Continue reading “Bible Club Under a Tree”

Learning a new language, an entire new way of life, well, it can be difficult! When we meet people, I try to greet them with the little bit of Chichewa I know. No matter how many times I go over it and over it,I still get so tongue tied that I look crazy! Sometimes I’llContinue reading “Just Get Back Up!”

Just a little excitement here on Monday!  Monday morning we received a call from Pastor Nelson that he had killed a black mamba behind his house (also behind ours) Sunday night. It was probably trying to get some eggs. He said they get even bigger!!! This was definitely big enough for us! The kids wereContinue reading “A Monday Morning Call”

I was able to start the Bible study in the nearby village today! We gathered around 7 to leave to the village. A few groups were going to be passing tracts and witnessing in the village. My group would station under a tree and start a Bible Lesson once a group gathered. Mercy and AbigailContinue reading “New Village Bible Lessons”

“But Mommy, we’re not missionaries anymore because we live here!” Mercy Joy💗 I’m so glad that the kids are feeling so at home!  Before we left the States, I started going through and giving away almost everything. There were a few things the kids begged me not to give away, like my little, chubby birds.Continue reading “A Busy, Blessed Sunday”

The day didn’t go exactly as I had planned (I have found it rarely does)…but it went perfectly according to God’s plans! I have learned to let my own will and ideas be flexible and allow Him to lead and direct. That doesn’t mean I don’t make plans and prepare. I planned and prepared myContinue reading “Walking through our Village”

What a busy, blessed weekend!!! Preparing bags for the prison and hospital. On Thursday, Eric was able to give out bags of different grocery items, tracts, and John and Romans at the prison. It was raining so he wasn’t sure how many would come out, but around 180 men came! They all huddled under aContinue reading “Christmas Weekend”

I have been feeling like my life is pretty hard lately. Daily living has been hard. In the last storm, one of the electrical lines coming into the compound was broken. It was the one for the fridge and water. So now even when we do have electricity, we don’t have water or a fridge.Continue reading “A Drive to the City”

The electricity has only been on a couple of hours the last two days – 2 hours yesterday morning and maybe 3 Wednesday night. I slept so little Wednesday night because of the heat (our fans haven’t had enough electricity to fully charge during the day), that Eric told me to go lay down withContinue reading “Glimpses Into My Day”
