hey all~
as you know we have been very busy with so many different things. We have spent most of the week at the Para Community Libary. I have been painting again (they think i am some kind of artist) and Jarrod and Barry (a backpacker that was just passing through and then started to help us) have been putting glass in the windows and now hanging shelves. We also picked up 2 volunteers from the Baptist Clinic to help sort book. So all in all things are moving along. Unfortunitly Jarrod and I will be leaving Senga Bay after 2 short months next weekend after soccer. We will be moving up to Muzuzu to work with Randy and Marty at their Bible College.
What else this week... well Monday we worked at the libary, tuesday Jarrod and Barry built wheelchairs and Sam and I met with the Senga Bay Community Police. Weeks ago I made them up ID badges and then we got them new Nike sneakers from Mama K and the Malawi Project. So on Tues we handed everything out. it is so cool to see how excited they get. They are a great group of guys. The picture is of Jarrod in a freewheelchairmission chair that he built and 2 of the SBCP. They just love having their pictures taken it is so sweet.
Weds we where back at the libary painting and hanging windows. Thursday we took a trip to Lilongwe to buy Jarrod a guitar which he has not put down since except to drive. While Jarrod was shopping in the music store Barry and I ran around area 2 in the city which is like a really small brooklyn and not the best area but a lot of fun and the outdoor market rocks.
Today (friday) we were back at the libary working hard.
so that has been a very fast week. and tomorrow we have soccer again. it is getting good we are now in semi finials so the heat is on!
little side note and Jarrod will hate that i said something but everyweek we go to church they ask jarrod to pray. i guess they just love his prayers and see the gifts that he has in the word and in prayer. well after church last sunday the pastor came to us and asked jarrod to preach this week. I am just so excited for him what an amazing experience.
well just wanted to give you all a little on what we are doing and why we haven't written to much.
much love,
kate

J-Rod, you should preach about Jesus. Yeah, I think that's a good topic.
ReplyDeleteYou know that one sunday i was at SB Baptist Church, the pastor asked you to pray twice...he was asking me to pray the second time. But then you started and Chifundo was like, "Jarrod saved your butt that time!"
ReplyDeleteHow did the sermon go?
