Thursday July 31 - We made a short
drive to Mponela, another congregation in the Mponea parish. We made bricks with the people of Mponela
which are to be used to build a parsonage.
We made about 1500 bricks. Wow
are we sore. The children watched in the
morning, but after we played with them during a break, they joined in and
helped make bricks. We played with the
children in Mponela with stomp rockets, jump ropes, and a frisbee. They were so excited for us to be there and
loved having their picture taken.
Lunch was again at
about 2:30. A truck load of people from
Lilongwe (The ELCM Evangelism team) came and helped clean out the feeding
center and assisted with the building of a sign near the borehole well. Abusa Innocent invited us to see his house on
the other side of the village. The
children all followed us there. Abusa
was so happy with his small house (this house has concrete floors and
electricity which his old house did not), which reminds us of how happy we
should be with all that we have in the United States.
