Below are just a few pictures of the visit to the maze mill on the ELCM campus. They welcomed us, showed us how maze is made and enjoyed singing and dancing with Emma and Claire. Tomorrow we head to Kathongera to dedicate the well and on Sunday will dedicate the second well at Madisi. We hope to be able to update the blog in a few days. A few highlights: *Tonight after the bible study for the new church we were invited back to a home in the village for dinner. It was dark as we were late getting to the service so we ate with 2 candles. The meal consisted of beef, goat, chicken, vegetables, potatoes, rice and sema(like a heavy dumpling and served with every meal). *The major part of Lilongwe has been without water since we have been there. They have been bringing water to our rooms for the toilets but we have been unable to shower. *The welcoming service they had for us yesterday was filled with drama, song, dance, scripture and friendship building. We managed to stay revived although we were very tired from our travels. *The people here are so appreciative and loving. They have so little and yet their hearts so big. *Emmma and Claire have been treated like royalty over here both by the people and the Bishop. Their work with raising money for the 2 wells has been a blessing to them and it is evident that they appreciate their service and dedication to their villages. Missy
