After a busy,busy week we shut off the alarm clocks, got up a little later, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast around the pool. We spent some time talking about the activities and highlights of the past week. We all felt very positive about the week, recalling with fond memories the connections we made with the people of Kawale. We were richly blessed by their warmth and friendship. Our prayer for the widows and orphans of Kawale comes from Isaiah 40:31 "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Due to the fuel shortage we were unable to go to Lake Malawi as previously planned, so we ventured downtown on foot, as our driver sat in the que waiting for fuel ( 10 hours and counting). We enjoyed bartering at the local market and we all came away having successfully made a purchase or two. The highlight of the afternoon was an ice cream treat before we walked back to the hotel on this lovely winter afternoon in Lilongwe.
It was wonderful to have a day to relax.
Your notes of encouragement are greatly appreciated. We ask for your continued prayers as we prepare for the next week in Biwi.
Blessings to you all,
Liz and Gloria
