Monday update

Monday morning is a trip to Sister Witness' house for repairs and renovations. This home also sevres as a church during bad weather so it is actually more than a home repair. We spend the morning hauling bricks up the "driveway" and buckets of water from the borehole up a very very steep hill. Some did better than others. :) The weather is warmer today so we are burning a few calories. Today is also a time of sharing and learning about cultures. After the hard work of the morning we traveled to Lake Malawi for lunch and a little relaxation. The lake looks like the ocean becasue it is so big and the water so blue. A much needed break from the intense experiences so far. Everyone continues to be overwhelmed by our experiences and cannot wait to return home to share. Get ready for lots of pictures and excited discussions. The day ended with some to dinner down the street and some at the hotel. Tuesday was back to the house renovation to carry more water and general "grunt" work to assist the more skilled workers. :) Dennis participated in a healing service for a very sick young member of the household and others shared in learning about woodworking and food preparation. After a brief break we will have bible study and a meeting with their church council. Dinner is an unknown at this point. We continue to be blessed by God on this journey and are already beginning to discuss how we can continue to move forward with this project after we return home. Peace to all.
