March 29, 2023 Something interesting always happens on Saturday visitation. This past week when we were visiting in Phokera, Shadrick was witnessing to two men. A little boy, 7 at the most, was in the background. He casually picked up what looked like bamboo, but much wider than any I’ve seen. Next, he grabbed aContinue reading “Kids With Machetes”

Taking Out Worms
March 24, 2023 I think I must make more mistakes in a language than is humanly thought possible! My most recent ones involve the video about running water the kids recently made. When I was filming them run across the yard with buckets of water, the workers began gathering to watch in amusement. I triedContinue reading “Taking Out Worms”
Why Art Thou Cast Down?
March 19, 2023 Sometimes the difference in customs of a place can be so hard to us! We just finished singing a song in Sunday School when I heard what sounded like a mob chanting/singing. I thought maybe they were storming the church! Brother Shadrick told me they were marching a thief to the police,Continue reading “Why Art Thou Cast Down?”
After the Hurricane
March 18, 2023 Where to even begin? I visited a few of my kids Friday after Bible study. The roof caved in on some, but the house was still standing. One of them has 7 children and her husband is up in Blantyre. The part of the village closest to us had less flooding. AllContinue reading “After the Hurricane”
Sheltered, Safe, & Secure
March 16, 2023 The rain has finally stopped and we saw the sun for the first time in at least a week. It feels like it rained forever! It has also been 3 weeks since we had running water. I feel like I should be making marks on the wall to keep track of it.Continue reading “Sheltered, Safe, & Secure”
Language Lessons
March 11, 2023 “I shall never, never, never learn the Japanese language. You may put it on my tombstone: expired in despair. I am in the middle of my language lessons, and have stopped short to tell you so…it is more important for me to warn you to send out no more missionaries to aContinue reading “Language Lessons”
Playing With Locusts
March 7, 2023 Saturday morning we went to the nearby village. Our Saturday soul winning group only seems to get bigger and bigger each week. After splitting up into groups, we started our walk through the village – the same direction we went last time. As we passed by one of the houses, the ladyContinue reading “Playing With Locusts”
Losing Hair and Filling Buckets
March 4, 2023 As we pulled into the nearby village today for witnessing, kids were already gathering. Even though Brother Shadrach had told them we would be doing lessons only on Sundays, they still gathered when they saw us. After we told them we’d be having a lesson tomorrow, we started down the paths. HouseContinue reading “Losing Hair and Filling Buckets”
Ice cream, Pickles, and Bugs
March 4, 2023 Days here seem to pass SO quickly! I feel like I blink, and they pass! We went to the Bible study/church plant last weekend. It is always fun to see the kids anxiously waiting for us! They always look for Isaac, my puppet. As we get out of the truck, they lookContinue reading “Ice cream, Pickles, and Bugs”
That My Will Be One With His
February 21,2023 “You may have left much to follow Christ, you may have believed on Him, and worked for Him, and loved Him, and yet may not be like Him. There are two wills, two interests, two lives. You have not yet lost your own life that you may live only in His.” Hannah WhitakerContinue reading “That My Will Be One With His”
