we're back


We're back in Malawi and things are going very well. We were very warmly greeted upon our return and have spent quite a bit of time with the kids and running around doing errands.

We took 3 children to the hospital today and the doctor said there was nothing wrong with two of them -- that's a first. We thought they both had malaria. The other child has a toothache. It is so bad that her cheek and eye are swollen. They said they can not remove the tooth with the infection in it so they gave her an antibiotic to take for a week. They'll remove her tooth next week. Poor thing. She was so scared and cried huge tears.

We purchased backpacks for the orphanage kids with money the Promiseland (Sunday School) kids at our church raised. They never expected anything like that and oh, were they excited.

We are very glad to be back here and doing God's work!
