                                                                    The Boar Hole

Hello, please watch videos and pictures full screen, they have a little more effect and you can see things better, enjoy and God Bless.

Going to get bricks in the middle of nowhere.

An old house in the village.

This is the size and look of an average house in Africa, usually will have a grass roof. Of course this is crumbling and abandoned but this is about the size.

So walk around your house or apartment then look at this house and imagine 5 or 6 people living with you in your little house. So there will be no complaining anymore about your living conditions.

Guys loading the bricks.

Close up.

The boar hole, this is one of Tyamike's boar holes in a village about 20 min from the Center.

The old man at the boar hole. LOL

Linjie and his amazing wooden bike.

We were driving from the house outside of Blantyre into town and we saw this guy on his bike. We stopped and talked to Linjie for awhile. He made the bike out of wood, all wood except the gears and chain. he said that he wants to put an engine onto it. We exchanged numbers and Linjie said he would call when he has done it. You see the craziest things, people,animals and building driving around Africa. Linjie the wooden bike guy.I try to share these crazy and fun things with all of you, trying to give you a little taste of what it like here. I have many more things to share with you, so for now God Bless and Amen.

My brother Brian at the Poco Cabana, I am sure you and all the guys will really appiciate linjies Bike.

Till next time, remember you are not in control, God is, so go have yourselves a Blessed day.

Why not end with a nice sunset.

Things are going great here in Malawi, I hope you did not get to disturbed by the Goat and Chicken video's but hey!! It is real and it happens everyday, we just don't see it at home where as here they do it right out in front of you. A note for the river gang in Vancouver, this is the river where I am now, it is a little different from our PoCo river. The only problem with the river here is that you can not go in the water because it is full of Crocodiles.
So there is no swimming or cooling of in the Matay river unless you want to become Food. The hot season is here and from Sept to Dec it is unreal, it gets up to 120 degrees or around 40 Celsius, it is so hot you can't imagine it, go into your kitchen and turn on your oven to 120, then in a 15 min go and open the oven door and put your hands in, that is what it is like. Taking Maria back to the hospital, I shared about her broken femer and us taking her to the hospital run by the government, I can't explain the rig they used for 3 weeks to pull her leg back together. It did nothing so, taking her to Cure a private hospital. The next blog I will post a story about Maria and what she has already gone through and what lays ahead for her.

God Bless you All.

Amen
