Worshipping an Omnipresent God and Guacamole

Aloha!!

I know its been a few days since I wrote anything....my bad.  Becca and I have been developing our daily routine and are feeling much more at home here.  This past weekend was full of little adventures, small triumps, character building conflicts, and goodbyes.

I'll start with the challenges just to get it out of the way so I can talk about the fun stuff.  Simple put, as of right now there is only one working car that about 9 people are all trying to use.  Please please please pray for us all to be gracious, considerate, and loving as we are forced to change plans and work together until the other cars come back from the shop.

It was quite the sight on Saturday as Michelle, Nick, John, Becca and I all climbed onto one car to go "across the bridge" and to the market to grab some veggies.  Along the way we picked two huge old school sewing machines and for a short while two more people and of course our purchases.  It was a very cozy trip but we all had fun.  The guys ended up making lunch for the four of us and we made dinner. A sweet deal if you ask me.  Of course cooking isn't cooking unless it's by candle light.

Sunday was a BIG step for us...I DROVE to church. And it went without a hitch. Thankfully Becca saw the gentleman riding his bike that was in my "blind spot".  Let me tell you something, I don't think I will complain about driving in the states again.  We went to a church here called Flood, it is a college age church mixed with people from all over. We had so much fun meeting everyone. I think Becca and I can agree that our favorite part was when they started singing a Malawian worship song. Of course we couldn't understand the language but just to see people from another culture worshipping the Creator of the universe was the biggest blessing ever to us.  We truly serve an Omnipresent God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  The people here are worshipping and giving thanks to Jesus for what He is doing in there lives and I can do the same.  We can be united in prayer to see all the nations of the world redeemed, and we are praying to the one true Living Lord.  Now that is something to get excited about.

After church Chris, Pam, Becca and I went to a small cute place called Paypaya and had a massive wrap Chipotle style and a coke for around K1050 which is about $3.77.  That's my kind of eats...haha. We went ahead and lived larged with some soft serve ice cream as well.  It was yummy. Besides the fact that the company we were sharing was great.  We are meeting some really cool people down here.

Speaking of cool people, our friend Michelle left for the States today.  If you remember her mama had a stroke a few weeks back so she just packed up her whole life here to go home to Washington and help.  We fell in love with this awesome women and we are going to miss her.  Please keep praying for her and her family. She only has a flight as far as Canada right now so she needs a flight to be provided for the last leg.




That about sums up all the cool stuff we've done.  The rest of our time is mostly taking ballet classes, getting everything organized to start teaching, taking walks, getting to know our neighbors and making smoothies and lemonade.

*side note* I never thought I would say this but I am having so fun much learning to cook everything from scratch.
