Baby Number 6!

I know we said that our nursery was full and couldn’t take anymore babies but…we now have baby number 6 and this time we mean it—WE ARE FULL!! 

Yesterday, little Loti came to join us.  He is 2 months old and his mother died when he was a month old.  He has been cared for by his aunt since then.  We were told about him 3 weeks ago but since his family lives in another town nothing was done.  Yesterday the social officer from that area brought the father, aunt and baby to Mzuzu so we could take him.  At the social welfare office I noticed that he had a charm around his neck so when we got home we prayed over him and cut it off.  He also had marks on his stomach that looked like a rope burn but my nannies said it was black medicine and that they (the African doctor) had cut him with a razor to cure the sickness in his stomach.  It just broke our heart but made us so thankful that we had taken him. 

 

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:  Colossians 1:12-14

 

We now have 2 nannies on shift during the day but we need to hire 2 more nannies to cover the night shift and until we do we honestly can’t take another baby.  My night nanny is great but 5 babies are more than enough!  Please pray that we can find 2 more nannies that speak English.  All my nannies can read and write English but a few don’t speak it too well.  I need at least one nanny a shift that speaks English well so somebody can understand me.
