Then we went up to Chiwengo for two nights where we taught some lessons to the kids and put screens on the windows of three of the group homes.
Malaria has been a big problem in some of the homes, so we screened the homes that were the most affected (about 20 large windows).
We also had 3 laptops donated, which we presented to the house parents and then gave computer lessons yesterday and this morning.
They were blown away and so blessed because NOT ONE of them has a computer or even knows how to type, but they sure were learning fast.
Tomorrow, we are off for Blantyre to visit Maribeth at the Acts III Children's Home. We will be taking a bus and the trip should take 4-5 hours. Please pray for us on the journey, as it will be long and the roads are not very good. It is always interesting driving on the roads in Africa! They also drive on the left side of the road here. It's a little hairy... :o)
Okay, I'm going to drop off so someone else can update their blog too. We are having an amazing trip and have been blessed beyond belief. One of my favorites was meeting a boy named Edwin
who sang us a song and played his guitar that he made out of a gas can, some wood scraps, and some wire for strings. The crazy thing is that it was really BEAUTIFUL!!! They are so joyful with so little and love their music like you can't believe. There is singing and dancing all over the place - just for the fun of it!Lots of love to you and thank you for all your prayers!
