Sunday

An update on installations! In the 4 days we were able to install this week, 410 pumps have been installed! Ulemu kwa Mulungu! Glory to God!

We went to church with our Field Officer Mwanjikho in Dwangwa. Actually his lovely wife Veronica came and picked us up. 

An open building that seemed to have just enough seats for those gathered. Children running around free both inside and outside, mostly quiet but definitely welcome. 

The prayers were corporate. The person up front would start but everyone jumped right in. All speaking at once of all their own prayer requests. It sounds like chaos but the energy is palpable and the belief that God hears us all is beautiful. 

Veronica preached today! Using John 4;34 about doing the work that has been given. She used us a examples of people who know what our job is in Africa and who come to do the work. And we do it. And when we get home we can say we did what we were supposed to do. 

So what are we supposed to do in our lives? How will we know what we are supposed to do and when we’ve done it? We have to find our focus like Paul, like Jeremiah. Find your focus and figure out what is distracting you. 

She was very good at switching and translating herself-back and forth English and Chichewa. But I’ll admit I didn’t follow after this. It was quite repetitive on finding your focus. I moved to loving your neighbor as yourself. Whatever you can do to do that.

We then went to their house for lunch of rice and chicken under a tree. With entertainment from his youngest, Francis.
