Early Morning Blessings
I got up early this morning the air was nice and cool. Esther and I were enjoying sitting outside in the breeze. As I was washing the dishes the rain started. I put on water to heat for our baths today. I am happy to be able to help today. Wanangwa is usually up and busy before I am.
Too Cold?
Lawrence and the men were to meet this morning. Mbwenu said it was too cold to have the meeting outside. Esther and I looked at each other. The temperature seemed perfect for us. I checked the temperature and it was 69 degrees. So the men decided to meet inside.
Baths
We carry a bucket of hot water and one of cold water to the bathhouse. We have a tub to mix them in and a scoop to pour the nice hot water over us. I really like this bathhouse. The tub works the best for me to wash my hair. We have had some bucket baths in the past and some cold showers. So far this is the best for me, I am really enjoying this hot water. And, yes I am very spoiled.
Scones for Breakfast
For breakfast today I had tea and a scone from the Women of Hope’s, Mtendere Bakery. I ate my scone with peanut butter and apricot jam. YUM!
Surprise Skirt
While in Mzuzu I found a great buy on some fabric. I decided to surprise Esther with a skirt from the tailor next door. So this morning I took the fabric over to the tailor when Esther wasn’t looking. She will love her new skirt.
Bicycles
I spent almost all of my kwacha on our big trip yesterday. So, today I went into Mzimba and exchanged funds. While we were in Mzimba we also bought four bicycles for the church to use for the World Bible School work.
We dropped the bicycles off at the bicycle mechanic to assemble. We had heard we were going to the best one. To our surprise when we arrived we knew them! They were former WBS students we had met at the Mzimba prison in 2019 where they were serving time. It is obvious they are changed, men. We are so proud of them and the good work they are doing.
