Heading to Bangula/ The Orphange



Hello All


It has been a long week running around Blantyre picking up supplies for the Orphange. I have not made it to the Orphanage yet, we should be heading out there tomorrow or Tuesday .Three hr drive through the mountains ( U know I will be video taping, LOL). Again I have a little video for you to see showing the landscape of Milawi.

So much fun ( Leanne"s comment) last night in the complex the dogs are barking and barking so I get up and go outside to see whats up. The two Malawian workers were there baffled, I have a flashlite and shine it, and  I see a big white tail, it was a cat by a tree, I walked up to get the cat and it jumped up the tree, right away the dogs jump so high up and grab the cat and takes of with it. The two dogs shake it around so violently and it is dead, but now and I need to get it from the dogs, I grab a broom and use the handle to pin the dogs head to the ground so I can get the cat from him.The dog breaks loose and grabs the cat and is crunching it like crazy and shaking it around like a rag doll and runs under the truck. Finally I get the mangled cat from the dog and bag it up, first week and entertainment at 1:30 a.m in the morning Amen

Here are a few pictures of people I have ran into over the days.



 Every time we make a stop someone needs to stay with the truck because everthing will get stolen in 2 seconds. I am watching the truck and all these school kids are getting out from school. There is a massive spider in a massive web in a tree ( tried to get pic's - to high up though) The kids have rubber bands ( Look at the above picture, you can see the bands in thier hands) ,so we make paper bullets and they are shooting them at the web so the spider is running all ove the web. It was fun and the kids were amazing.

Wonderful lady who I bought penuts off.

These crazy little guys we a blast and I gave them
500 Kwacha and they went running up the highway
screaming and yelling with so much joy. I got a talking to
from Will about the amount, will explain later.

Mechanic at the tire shop

Market place just about a block from the house.

Jon Morrison's book- Clear minds Dirty feet. Well Jon I
have a clear mind and here are my Dirty Feet ( Praise Jesus) after a day in
Blantyre. Everyday coming home this is how the feet look.





$360.00 Kwatcha is $1.00 , so people make $600.00 Kwatcha a day and most spend 1/2 for transportation to work. If we do the math they make $300 Kwatcha a day $1. If we make $20.00 an hour in Canada is $160.00 a day. So me giving $500 Kwatcha to the kids would be like giving $80.00 to someone on the street. Not good ,so I have been corrected and now give one to two hundred Kwatcha to people.

I think that should do it for now, went to two churchs this morning, one Malawian with a translater, man can they preach with enthusiasm and energy, everyone is cheering and worshiping ( I think we were the only white people there out of 150 people) the other was more ex-pats, Australians, Dutch, and Canadians but was a wonderful sevice.  God put a lady in my path who's husband is an alcohlic but is also a beleiver but not a follower, I shared some of my story with her and she wanted me to e-mail my Testemony to her so she can show her husband ( Pray for the Spirit to do a good work)

Love all of you ,and signing out for now

God is Good
Amen
