One day after we'd just returned from the US, we were meeting with Mr. Watson who is a pastor-in-training for the Mphanda Church. He informed us that his wife had delivered a child on March 19. Larry immediately said, "That's my wife's birthday." Mr. Watson said they should give his daughter the name Mandy. So we finally got to meet the baby. She is beautiful and such a happy and content baby.
About a year and a half ago, Mr. and Mrs. Watson lost their first baby daughter to an illness that she wasn't able to recover from. She died before she reached the age of 2. So, Mrs. Watson has been praying hard for another daughter and the Lord granted her request. She was so happy to show off that new blessing from the Lord.
We were amazed at the hospitality we were shown when we visited these friends. Watson's mother gathered all the neighborhood children (about 10-12)
and they pulled ground nuts (peanuts) off the roots to give us as a gift. It was a sweet scene to see them all working together to give us a blessing.
