We landed in Malawi on May 2nd. The weather is cooling off now and we will prepare for "winter." The temps right now are in the 70s (F) during the day and 50s at night - great sleeping weather. Malawi generally doesn't get freezing temperatures, but when it hits the 40s at night, we feel it. We usually don't need heat in the house, but have a space heater to use when it gets so cold at night.
This year Malawi did not get sufficient rainfall and the crops did not produce enough food. We are anticipating a hard famine season beginning as early as October.
The pastors from Blantyre visited us this past weekend to greet us and update us on the new church - Mphanda Christian Church in Mphanda village. The people are so hungry for God's Word and are begging us to come soon to teach them. We are also eager to begin.
Please pray that we will have a dependable vehicle soon. Each day, Larry goes out to shop, but comes home with the same story. We just can't afford the vehicle that seems like it will last for a few years.
We are so excited to be back in Malawi and we are praying for fresh passion and vision for ministry. It will be exciting to see how God will continue to work in us and through us. We feel so inadequate, but rely on His all-sufficient Grace. It is when we are weak that He is strong.
