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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

February 18,2023 The rains have come and with it, slightly cooler weather. It still gets pretty hot, but we’ve had a couple of days in the mid 80s. The humidity is still high – 80%-90s.    The water is a blessing because the people live off of what they grow.  Last year people faced starvationContinue reading “Never a Dull Moment”

February 4,2023 We are just getting back to normal after a sickness we picked up last week. Because I was home with a few sick kids and unable to go to the village, Lydia offered to teach a lesson to the children that would be waiting for us there. I heard she did a wonderfulContinue reading “Lollipops & Memory Verses”

February 4,2023 Our days have been filled with ministering and language lessons-besides the regular schooling, housekeeping, and meal preparation. Recently, we’ve been learning some interesting differences about the Malawian culture. One thing we knew even before we came, was that they are extremely honorific…almost to the point of frustration sometimes! (Like calling me Madam.🤦🏼‍♀️ ThankfullyContinue reading “A Little Bit of Culture”
