Our daily staple. Heidi learns how to bake bread from scratch!
Daily visitors: people are streaming in get their wounds treated and bandaged. The first weeks were the worst: many had huge tropical sores again (like in the beginning), but things are slowing down a bit now. Hopefully soon we will just see “fresh” wounds again!
Our three helpers taking a mid morning break.
Nadia and MayeApete visits every Saturday morning. What a privilege to now not only visit with a dear friend, but also with a fellow sister in Christ! Her son is still very sick with Aids. Please pray for his healing.
Little Mino (see earlier blog) is doing somewhat better since we could give his family some nutrition education. His mom is still struggling to make ends meet with four small children, while her husband is away at his other wives’ homes.
We LOVE holding the babies! Heidi in a tender moment.
Don’t squeeze so hard!! 🙂 No, seriously, this baby just looks like this – with our without a hug! 🙂 He is one of twins – who usually have a very high mortality rate. He has clubbed feet and no hope to have it fixed, but stole Heidi’s heart.
Our main focus this month after moving back in: Visiting, building and establishing relationships and learning language! Coming up next: Literacy classes, discipling new believers, Bible lesson development and more! We will keep you posted as things move forward towards a mature Mwinika church.
Franco teaching his friends a new “game”! Guess who won? 🙂
“I knight thee, sir…” The Hattingh and Henderson kids acting in a play that Callie (Henderson) wrote herself! They “performed” to a very appreciative audience last weekend when Danny and Marilyn Germann visited. 🙂
